U.S. Envoys Arrive in Moscow for Talks with President Putin on Ukraine Peace Efforts
U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner have arrived in Moscow for a meeting with President Vladimir Putin. This visit follows two days of trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi, which included representatives from the U.S., Russia, and Ukraine, aimed at finding a resolution to the ongoing conflict. The Abu Dhabi discussions resulted in an agreement for a large-scale prisoner exchange, though no broader breakthrough towards peace was reported. Witkoff and Kushner were met at Moscow's Vnukovo airport by Kirill Dmitriev, a senior Russian official involved in talks with Washington. This marks Witkoff's tenth visit to Russia for talks with President Putin, reflecting the Trump administration's sustained diplomatic efforts since President Trump made ending the war a foreign policy priority in 2025.
