US envoys arrive in Moscow for Ukraine talks with Vladimir Putin

According to BBC, US envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff have arrived in Moscow for talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin, a day after the latest talks aimed at ending the war in Ukraine wrapped up in Abu Dhabi. Videos shared by Russian media showed Kushner and Witkoff disembarking a plane and being welcomed by Kremlin envoy Kirill Dmitriev. The American negotiators were due to meet Putin at 12:00 local time and will then fly to Dublin to speak to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. On Tuesday, Kushner said the US had seen "some openings and some opportunities" and that they would try to "make some progress" at the meeting with Putin. The in-person talks with the Russian and Ukrainian presidents were announced after two days of talks framed around the postwar security architecture of Europe.
