US Envoys Witkoff and Kushner Travel to Moscow for Ukraine Talks With Putin

United States envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are visiting Moscow to engage in talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Their discussions focus on the Russia-Ukraine conflict and efforts to achieve a ceasefire.

The mission follows two days of trilateral talks recently conducted in the United Arab Emirates. Those negotiations in Abu Dhabi concluded without reaching a breakthrough, leading the envoys to attempt to make further progress directly in Moscow.

Alongside these diplomatic efforts, European leaders are preparing additional economic measures. The European Union plans to approve new sanctions against Russia on Monday, according to France's Europe minister.
