Russian President Vladimir Putin began a meeting in the Kremlin with US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, who traveled to Moscow to attempt to advance negotiations for an end to the war in Ukraine, as previously announced by US President Trump. Before the discussion, Putin, Witkoff, and Kushner exchanged pleasantries, with Putin stating that contacts between Moscow and Washington have always been "useful." Witkoff conveyed Trump's well wishes and thanked Putin for the ceasefire during the American delegation’s visit. Putin and Ukrainian President Zelensky have agreed to suspend attacks on each other’s capitals while talks continue, following Russia’s large-scale invasion of Ukraine more than four and a half years ago. The specifics of the US "idea for peace" remain unclear, and Trump declined to state whether Ukraine should cede territory to Russia. After Moscow, Witkoff and Kushner will travel to Ukraine, where President Zelensky anticipates receiving them in Kyiv tomorrow.
