Witkoff and Kushner's Moscow visit called 'significant peace step' by Putin's envoy

Kremlin official Kirill Dmitriev called the trip of US President Donald Trump's envoys to Moscow a "significant peace visit," marking the first Kremlin assessment after their three-hour meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Dmitriev, who participated in the talks, made the comment in a post on X, accompanied by photos of him bidding farewell to Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner at the airport as they departed Moscow. The meeting was part of diplomatic efforts to end the war in Ukraine. The visit represents a notable step in US-Russia engagement, with the American delegation holding direct talks with Putin amid ongoing international efforts to broker a ceasefire in the conflict.
