US envoys from Donald Trump’s administration met with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow to discuss the future of the war in Ukraine. The meeting, which lasted three hours, focused on "next steps" for ending the conflict, according to the White House. The envoys, including Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, expressed hope for "equally productive meetings" in Ukraine.
The White House stated that the discussions were "substantive" and that plans for the next phase of negotiations would be announced in the coming weeks. Russian officials described the talks as "useful," though no immediate agreement was reached. The meeting marks the latest attempt at diplomatic engagement between the two sides amid ongoing hostilities.
Both sides emphasized the need for a peaceful resolution, though details remain unclear. The envoys are expected to return to Ukraine for further talks, with the goal of reducing tensions and finding a lasting solution. The situation remains fluid, with no official timeline for a potential breakthrough.
