US envoys meet Putin and Zelenskyy in push for Ukraine breakthrough

US envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff are traveling to Moscow on Thursday to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin, following talks in Abu Dhabi, before heading to Dublin to brief Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Kushner said the Moscow meeting is for a "stocktaking" of the Abu Dhabi discussions and to explore "whether we can get the Europeans into the format." In Dublin, the envoys plan to brief Zelenskyy and deepen ideas, with the Ukrainian president confirming the meeting. Zelenskyy, who arrived in Ireland Wednesday, said he sees a "time window" for a breakthrough before 2027, as all parties genuinely seek results. NATO chief Mark Rutte said the US, Europe, and Ukraine are "completely aligned," adding it is now up to Russia to show willingness to compromise.
