American envoys arrive in Moscow to meet with Putin

American envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff arrived in Moscow to meet President Vladimir Putin before heading to Dublin to meet Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky. Zelensky expressed skepticism about the talks, emphasizing the need for security guarantees regarding the Donbass region. He stated that the U.S. must return with concrete proposals and highlighted the importance of U.S. pressure on Putin for any progress. Despite doubts, Zelensky viewed the continuation of negotiations as positive and hoped for results soon. Following meetings in Abu Dhabi, a significant prisoner exchange was announced, with expectations for humanitarian releases. Russia's negotiations are tied to a new European security architecture, supported by President Trump, while previous talks had stalled for over eight months due to shifting U.S. focus.
