US envoys meet Putin to discuss European role in Ukraine peace talks

United States envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff held further talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow to brief him on recent trilateral discussions held in Abu Dhabi with Russian, Ukrainian, and American representatives.

Following meetings with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Dublin, the negotiators signaled that European nations should be included in future peace negotiations to address long-term security arrangements. Ukrainian leadership expressed optimism about the current negotiation window, while Moscow signaled a willingness to expand dialogue beyond territorial disputes. However, fundamental disagreements between Kyiv and Moscow remain unresolved as diplomatic efforts continue.
