Russian President Vladimir Putin met with U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner in Moscow to discuss the ongoing war in Ukraine. The three-hour meeting was described as candid and constructive, with Putin providing detailed assessments of the situation. The U.S. envoys were reportedly carrying a ceasefire proposal from Ukraine, though it’s unclear how it differs from previous offers. Putin’s demands for Ukrainian territory remain unchanged, posing a challenge for peace talks. The envoys are set to meet with Ukrainian officials next, and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has promised not to target Moscow during their visit. Putin expressed gratitude to U.S. President Donald Trump and emphasized the need for political and diplomatic solutions. The meeting highlights ongoing efforts to resolve the conflict, which has lasted over four years.
