U.S. Envoys Arrive in Moscow for New Round of Peace Talks on Ukraine

U.S. envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff arrived in Moscow for peace talks with President Putin regarding Ukraine. This marks their tenth meeting with Putin, following trilateral discussions in Abu Dhabi that resulted in a large prisoner exchange but no significant progress on broader negotiations. Kushner aims to assess discussions from Abu Dhabi and seek advancements, while Zelensky expresses cautious optimism about a potential ceasefire before 2027. Despite some reported progress, key territorial disputes remain unresolved, with Ukraine rejecting Putin's demands for the Donbas region. NATO's Secretary-General noted alignment among the U.S., Ukraine, and Europe, while Russia maintains a stance against European involvement in negotiations.
