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

The preceding bilateral talks in the United Arab Emirates concluded after a brief two-hour meeting on their final day. Russian lead negotiator Vladimir Medinsky indicated that preliminary understandings were reached between the participating parties.

Following their discussions in Moscow, the American envoys are scheduled to travel to Dublin for consultations with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
