U.S. President Donald Trump’s envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner today met with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow, a day after the latest talks aimed at ending the war in Ukraine wrapped up in Abu Dhabi. Washington sought new momentum in peace efforts after two days of US mediated negotiations between Russian and Ukrainian delegations. Steve and Kushner, who is also Trump’s son-in-law, brokered the talks in Abu Dhabi. The talks ended yesterday with an agreement on a large exchange of prisoners, with the exact number still to be agreed.
The talks produced no visible breakthrough on ending the nearly five years of large-scale hostilities, which began on Feb 24, 2022, after the fighting initially started in 2014 in eastern Ukraine. Kushner and Witkoff went straight to the Kremlin to brief Mr Putin in a meeting that lasted about two hours and are scheduled to fly to Dublin, Ireland, for talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Meanwhile, Mr. Zelensky has said, his country’s military was again facing systematic restrictions to Starlink’s military-grade service.
