Ukraine-Russia war latest: Putin ally warns West of ‘start of real war’ as Trump envoys meet Zelensky - Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are visiting Moscow and Kyiv over the weekend

Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner met with President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia in Moscow on Saturday in an effort to revive peace talks.

US President Donald Trump's special envoy Jared Kushner has said there is no guarantee the war in Ukraine will end by winter, but the US is working to create the conditions necessary for this.

"The United States is increasingly overstretched between these two conflicts," a former U.S. intelligence official told Newsweek.

WASHINGTON, Sept 3 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday said he would ask European nations to pay back the United States for military aid and munitions previously sent to Ukraine amid the ongoing war with Russia and appeared to signal a halt in sales to allied nations.

U.S. Army Secretary Dan Driscoll has played a role in Washington's efforts to end Russia's war against Ukraine and previously advocated for closer U.S.-Ukraine military cooperation.

Melania Trump was praised profusely by her top advisor, Marc Beckman, in a recent media interview, in which he called for global recognition and laurels for her, citing her latest humanitarian efforts to reunite Ukrainian children with their families following Russia’s war against Ukraine.

No matter what anyone thinks about the Ukraine war, Putin’s invasion and the alleged Russia threat, we should all raise our voices in alarm and demand immediate talks between the U.S. and Russia.
