Donald Trump's special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner arrived in Moscow on Saturday, where Vladimir Putin had welcomed them ahead of their meeting.

After the meeting, the two envoys are expected to visit Kyiv for the first time. Isak Svensson, a professor of peace and conflict research at Uppsala University, said the visit would give Ukraine a new card to play at the negotiating table.

"Witkoff and Kushner are always welcome in Russia. Moscow is pleased to cooperate with them," Putin told Russia's state-run news agency TASS before their arrival.
