Russian President Vladimir Putin convened a meeting with U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner at the Kremlin on Saturday to discuss ways to end Russia's conflict in Ukraine. The discussions, which lasted over three hours in a private setting, concluded without any declarations of a breakthrough. According to Putin's foreign policy adviser, Yuri Ushakov, the talks were constructive, honest, and beneficial but did not provide details on the specific outcomes.
Witkoff and Kushner are scheduled to visit Kyiv, Ukraine's capital, on Sunday. The talks come amid escalating aerial assaults from both sides. In a bid to reduce tensions, Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy agreed to suspend strikes on each other's capitals during the negotiations. The American effort to bring an end to the war has seen a decline in enthusiasm, as U.S. focus has shifted towards the ongoing war in Iran for the past six months.
The last recorded meeting between Witkoff and Kushner and Putin in Moscow took place in January, where they also held talks with the Russian leader at the Kremlin. This marks Witkoff and Kushner's first visit to Kyiv for American representatives.
