US envoys arrive in Moscow to meet Putin after Abu Dhabi talks

U.S. negotiators Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff have arrived in Moscow for high-level talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin following the conclusion of bilateral negotiations in Abu Dhabi. Upon arrival at Vnukovo airport, the envoys were greeted by Kirill Dmitriev, a special representative for the Russian presidency.

The preceding meetings in the United Arab Emirates wrapped up after a shortened two-hour session on their second day. Russian lead negotiator Vladimir Medinsky noted that preliminary understandings were achieved between the delegations. Following their meetings in the Russian capital, the American mediators are slated to travel to Dublin to confer with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who remains skeptical of the process and continues to demand robust security guarantees alongside full sovereignty over the Donbas region.
