Putin tells White House envoys peace talks with Ukraine are difficult

dn.pt (Portuguese)

Russian President Vladimir Putin said "the situation is not easy" as he met White House envoys in Moscow on Saturday to revive peace talks with Ukraine, extending best wishes to US President Donald Trump. The envoys, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, traveled to Moscow and Kiev this weekend after Trump confirmed the trip Friday. Both warring nations announced a 72-hour pause in attacks during the visit, and the envoys are scheduled to meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky afterward. The mission follows Trump's August 2025 Alaska meeting with Putin, which ended without an agreement, and comes as Trump seeks to reintegrate Russia internationally, including inviting Moscow to last week's G20 finance ministers' meeting. Russia's February 2022 invasion has triggered Europe's worst security crisis since World War II.
