The US Presidentʼs special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner have concluded talks with Putin in Moscow. After the meeting, the Americans announced progress in peace talks on Ukraine and confirmed that European representatives will join the next round.
This is reported by CNN.
"I think weʼve made progress. People didnʼt believe we could resume the trilateral talks. But we resumed them and agreed to meet again. Thatʼs what President Trump wants," Witkoff told reporters before departing Moscow.
He also noted that since Europe is a partner of the United States, it is important that it participates in this process.
Kushner added that the talks with Putin were "very thorough and detailed" and covered all the main issues. He hopes that these discussions will help prepare for the next multilateral meeting.
Now, Witkoff and Kushner are scheduled to travel to Dublin, where they will meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and brief him on the results of the talks in Moscow.
- On November 10-11, trilateral talks between representatives of Ukraine, the United States, and Russia were held in Abu Dhabi — the first in this format since February. The Ukrainian side reported some progress, but no concrete agreements on ending the war were reached.
- Ukraine has long insisted on full European participation in peace talks. At the same time, Russia has previously opposed such a format. In particular, this week, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov criticized the presence of European officials in Abu Dhabi, calling such an approach unpromising.
