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

U.S. envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff arrived in Moscow following the conclusion of two-day diplomatic talks between Russian and Ukrainian representatives in Abu Dhabi. Upon landing at Vnukovo Airport, the American delegation was greeted by Kirill Dmitriev, a special representative for Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The second day of discussions in the United Arab Emirates lasted two hours, culminating in preliminary understandings between the delegations, according to lead Russian negotiator Vladimir Medinsky.

Following their scheduled meetings in Moscow, Kushner and Witkoff are set to travel to Dublin to confer with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Zelensky has expressed ongoing skepticism regarding the talks, emphasizing that any peace settlement must protect Ukrainian sovereignty over the Donbas region and include concrete security guarantees.
