US envoys to meet Putin today

Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner arrived in Moscow for talks on a plan to end the war between Russia and Ukraine, which the article says has continued for more than four years.

The US envoys were expected to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin later on the same day, according to Axios. After the Moscow meetings, they were due to travel to Kyiv for talks with the Ukrainian government.

The visit would mark the first time Witkoff, a business associate of US President Donald Trump, and Trump’s son-in-law Kushner have traveled to Kyiv since Trump returned to office last year. Both men have taken part in ceasefire negotiations involving Gaza and Iran, and Witkoff has traveled to Moscow repeatedly during earlier diplomatic efforts.

“I sent Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, two great negotiators. They have done a fantastic job, and we sent them to see whether we can get something done. And there could be a good chance that we do,” Trump told reporters.
