US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner will meet Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Thursday (November 12) after two days of US-mediated peace talks between Russian and Ukrainian negotiators in Abu Dhabi.
The talks produced an agreement on a major prisoner exchange, which Kushner described as the biggest ever, although no figures were disclosed.
Kushner said the meeting with Putin would review the discussions and explore possible compromises. The US envoys will later travel to Dublin to meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
However, disagreements persist over territorial demands and Europe's role in future negotiations. Russia wants Ukraine to withdraw from parts of eastern Ukraine, while Kyiv insists on a ceasefire before discussing territorial issues.
European officials, NATO and the European Union also joined meetings in Abu Dhabi as Ukraine pushed for greater involvement from its Western allies in shaping a post-war security framework.
