The US envoys are scheduled to visit Kyiv today, marking their first trip to the Ukrainian capital as part of the peace process. Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin met with US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner at the Kremlin yesterday. After the talks, President Putin ordered a three-day pause in Russian strikes on Kyiv. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Ukraine is also ready to halt strikes on Moscow until Monday.
Russian President Vladimir Putin held more than three hours of talks with US envoys in an effort to revive stalled efforts to end the Russia-Ukraine conflict. President Putin asked the envoys to convey his warm wishes and gratitude to US President Donald Trump, while describing the situation in Ukraine as complex.
The meeting came amid continued aerial attacks between Russia and Ukraine. The latest diplomatic efforts come as Washington seeks to regain momentum in negotiations aimed at ending the conflict.
