US envoys arrive in Moscow for talks with Putin after Abu Dhabi negotiations

U.S. negotiators Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff have arrived in Moscow to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin following a brief second day of talks with Russian and Ukrainian officials in Abu Dhabi. Upon landing at Vnukovo airport, the delegation was received by Kirill Dmitriev, a special representative for the Russian presidency.

The bilateral discussions in the United Arab Emirates concluded after a two-hour session, during which Russian lead negotiator Vladimir Medinsky noted that preliminary understandings had been established between the parties.

Following their Moscow engagements, the American envoys are scheduled to travel to Dublin to consult with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Zelensky continues to express skepticism regarding the progress of the peace talks, maintaining requirements for robust security guarantees and full Ukrainian sovereignty over the Donbas region.
