U.S. President Donald Trump's envoy, Steve Witkoff, is traveling to Moscow this week for renewed peace talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The White House confirmed Tuesday that Witkoff will attempt to advance negotiations aimed at ending the war in Ukraine.
This will be Witkoff’s fourth meeting with Putin. Earlier talks have centered on the conditions for a ceasefire, though no breakthroughs have been announced. Trump’s press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, emphasized that the president is pushing for peace, expressing frustration with the ongoing conflict and urging both sides to find a resolution.
As Witkoff prepares to meet Putin, additional discussions on Ukraine are scheduled for London. U.S. Ukraine envoy General Keith Kellogg will attend, replacing Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who is unable to participate. These meetings come amid fresh signals from Kyiv and Moscow about potential shifts in their positions. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed readiness for dialogue with Russia, conditional on a ceasefire.
