Peace talks resume in Moscow as Putin meets US envoys Witkoff and Kushner

After a long pause, new peace talks for Ukraine have begun in Moscow between Kremlin chief Vladimir Putin and US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, following an announcement by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Putin received the envoys of US President Donald Trump in the Kremlin, stating the talks are not easy and that he will explain the war situation from his perspective. He praised Trump's efforts to end the conflict and noted the envoys have Russia's trust. Putin has ordered a three-day ceasefire for Kyiv to allow Witkoff and Kushner to visit the Ukrainian capital for the first time, with Zelenskyy expecting them on Sunday. Previous talks stalled as the envoys focused on Trump's war with Iran.
