Trump Envoys Meet Zelenskyy in Kyiv After Moscow Talks with Putin

Trump administration envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Kyiv on Sunday, describing the talks as substantive, following lengthy but inconclusive discussions with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow the previous day. Zelenskyy reiterated that any peace agreement must include security guarantees and a dignified post-war settlement, while noting further talks with European security leaders were planned. The envoys' Moscow meeting, held behind closed doors at the Kremlin, lasted over three hours and was described as constructive by Putin's adviser Yuri Ushakov, who mentioned potential joint economic ventures between Russia and the U.S. The visit occurred amid ongoing Russian drone and missile attacks on Ukrainian regions, including a fatal strike in Zaporizhzhia, and Ukrainian counterattacks on Russian energy infrastructure. Both sides reported casualties and equipment losses, with Ukraine claiming to have shot down 82 of 108 Russian drones and six missiles overnight. The envoys' trip followed a period of U.S. focus on Iran, during which Russia appeared emboldened, and NATO members expressed concern over suspected Russian sabotage and cyberattacks in Europe, including a failed drone incursion at a German airport.

U.S. strikes three Iranian oil tankers after Navy warships targeted with missiles

The U.S. military struck three Iranian oil tankers on Saturday after Navy warships were targeted with missiles, stating it would destroy Iran's exposed oil fleet if necessary. The strikes, part of renewed hostilities following a month of calm, disabled two tankers and destroyed a third unladen vessel linked to Iran's Revolutionary Guard. Iranian state TV reported four U.S. missiles hit a tanker near Kharg Island, a key oil export terminal. The U.S. said one tanker was struck off Kharg Island, another near Jask east of the Strait of Hormuz, and the unladen tanker in the Gulf of Oman. At least five people were killed earlier in the week in a U.S. bombardment of southern Iran, including one strike that hit a wedding. Negotiations over Iran's nuclear program collapsed after a memorandum of understanding in mid-June, with Tehran now leveraging control of the Strait of Hormuz amid low shipping traffic.
