Trump envoys Witkoff and Kushner meet Putin with US officials in Moscow

Trump envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner were accompanied by representatives from the National Security Council, State Department, and Treasury Department during their Moscow visit. The delegation met with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin on Saturday, September 5, to discuss proposals for ending the war. Treasury sanctions official Gene Lang joined the trip but did not attend the Putin meeting, instead holding preparatory talks with Putin's envoy Kirill Dmitriev, likely about US sanctions. Journalists Barak Ravid and Steve Holland reported the delegation will hold similar meetings in Ukraine on September 6, with both sides discussing detailed next steps expected to be announced in coming weeks.
