US envoys arrive in Russia for Putin meeting after Ukraine talks

US envoys met with President Putin in Moscow to discuss potential progress in the Ukraine conflict following talks in Abu Dhabi. Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff emphasized the need for specifics in negotiations, while Ukrainian President Zelensky expressed cautious optimism about a possible resolution before 2027. The discussions included a significant prisoner exchange agreement, although both sides acknowledged limited genuine progress towards peace. Russia's delegation chief criticized the lack of concrete proposals from European nations, while Kushner highlighted the importance of including Europe in future talks. The ongoing war has resulted in significant casualties and displacement since Russia's invasion in February 2022.
