orf.at (German)

Russian President Vladimir Putin met US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner in Moscow on Saturday, with few details released about the three-hour talks, which the Kremlin called "useful" and "constructive." US President Donald Trump had said the envoys carried a "new" plan to end the war, without giving specifics. Putin's adviser Yuri Ushakov said a range of ideas for a peaceful solution was formulated, with Putin reiterating Russia's goals and the need to address root causes of the conflict. The envoys are expected in Kyiv on Sunday for talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, with both sides pledging a three-day halt to attacks on each other's capitals. The visit follows a secret CIA mission to Moscow in late August. Russian strikes on Saturday killed at least seven people, and Zelensky proposed a ceasefire during the envoys' visit, which Putin said Moscow would guarantee security for.
