US envoys meet Putin in Moscow to push Ukraine peace deal

rte.ie —

US envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff arrived in Moscow for talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin, continuing their push for a Ukraine peace deal. The meeting marks Witkoff's 10th in-person encounter with Putin. The Kremlin talks follow two days of trilateral negotiations in Abu Dhabi that ended Wednesday with a planned major prisoner exchange but no public breakthrough. The envoys are scheduled to meet Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky in Dublin later today. The Abu Dhabi talks were the first direct US-mediated negotiations between Russia and Ukraine, with differences remaining on territory. Ukraine has rejected Putin's demands to surrender the Donbas region, while US mediators have shifted focus toward postwar security guarantees and reconstruction.
