US envoys land in Moscow for talks with Putin on Ukraine peace plan

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

The second day of discussions between Russian and Ukrainian representatives in the United Arab Emirates concluded after two hours. Russian lead negotiator Vladimir Medinsky indicated that preliminary understandings had been established during the session.

Following their scheduled meetings in the Russian capital, Kushner and Witkoff will travel to Dublin to confer with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Zelensky continues to voice skepticism regarding the peace process, maintaining that any potential agreement must respect Ukraine's sovereignty over the Donbas region and provide robust security guarantees.
