Trump Envoys Meet Putin in Moscow as Kyiv Visit Looms
U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner met with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Saturday in a bid to restart peace negotiations over Ukraine.
Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, envoys representing President Trump's administration, traveled to Moscow on Saturday for talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The meeting was part of an effort to revive stalled peace negotiations related to the war in Ukraine. Both envoys have been acting on Trump's behalf in pushing for dialogue between Russia and Ukraine, as well as between Moscow and Western governments.
The Moscow meeting continues a pattern of direct engagement between the Trump administration and Russian leadership aimed at exploring a possible settlement to end the fighting.
At the same time, the envoys are expected to travel soon to Kyiv, which would mark their first visit to the Ukrainian capital. Such a trip would suggest an attempt to balance the diplomatic outreach by engaging directly with both sides of the conflict.
Further details about what was discussed in Moscow, or any outcomes from the meeting, have not yet been made public.
