Putin says US-Russia contacts beneficial as talks begin with Witkoff and Kushner
The envoys outlined settlement ideas and economic projects, but the Kremlin gave no sign of a breakthrough after more than three hours of talks.
- On Saturday, U.S. special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner met Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow for over three hours to discuss settlement proposals, then traveled to Kyiv on Sunday to brief Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
- To facilitate the diplomatic mission, Putin ordered a 72-hour halt to Russian strikes on Kyiv starting at midnight Saturday, while Zelensky agreed Ukraine would refrain from targeting Moscow through Monday to ensure envoys' safety.
- While Kremlin aides described the Moscow talks as "meaningful" and "constructive," negotiations in Kyiv prioritized a "winter package" for energy grid stability and long-term security, though both sides reported no immediate breakthroughs.
- A White House official confirmed the delegation discussed "substantive plans" for ending the conflict, with details to be announced in the coming weeks as envoys work to revive trilateral diplomatic talks.
- Despite the diplomatic activity, fundamental disagreements over territory and security guarantees continue to divide Moscow and Kyiv, with front lines remaining largely static and experts expressing skepticism about breakthrough prospects.
