Trump envoys Witkoff and Kushner meet Putin in Moscow on Ukraine peace talks

abcnews.com —

President Donald Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff and son-in-law Jared Kushner arrived in Moscow Thursday to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin, following two days of trilateral U.S.-Russia-Ukraine talks in Abu Dhabi that yielded no major breakthrough. The envoys are expected to travel to Dublin later Thursday to meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The Abu Dhabi talks produced a prisoner exchange deal, described by Kushner as the largest of the war, while discussions covered security guarantees for Ukraine and European security arrangements. Kushner acknowledged "significant differences remain" between the combatants, including on occupied territory, NATO membership, and Ukraine's military size. Both sides continued overnight strikes, with Russia launching 123 drones and Ukraine reporting one death in Kyiv, while Zelenskyy cited disruptions to SpaceX's Starshield satellite network.
