Ukraine-Russia war latest: Trump envoys Witkoff and Kushner ‘to meet Putin in Moscow for peace talks’
Ukraine-Russia peace talks as Trump envoy set to travel to Moscow
- Jared Kushner, son-in-law of Donald Trump, and envoy Steve Witkoff are reportedly travelling to Moscow for peace talks with Vladimir Putin.
- The envoys could meet with the Russian President this month to negotiate an end to the conflict, though a specific date has not yet been agreed.
- Kushner and Witkoff recently met with Kyiv’s allies in Paris, where Britain and France announced plans to deploy troops to Ukraine should a peace deal be reached.
- Diplomatic efforts driven by Donald Trump have so far failed to yield a peace agreement, with Moscow refusing to compromise on its demands and Kyiv seeking security guarantees.
- Tensions between Moscow and Washington have heightened following the US capture of Venezuela’s ex-president and Russia’s warnings against US interference in Iran.
