After meeting with Putin, Witkoff says new round of peace talks agreed, with European representatives set to participate
U.S. presidential envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner have concluded their meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin at the Kremlin.
There was no official news conference after the meeting, but before leaving Moscow, Witkoff gave brief comments to reporters.
I think progress was made. I think it was made earlier today, People didn’t think that we were going to restart trilateral. We’ve restarted it. We’ve set a new meeting.
Witkoff did not specify when the new meeting would take place, but he said European representatives would take part: “They’re our partners, and it’s important for them to be involved.”
Witkoff and Kushner met with Putin a day after talks between the United States, Russia, and Ukraine in Abu Dhabi.
The U.S. presidential envoys will fly from Moscow to Dublin, where they will meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky by the end of the day.
