U.S. President Donald Trump's envoy, Steve Witkoff, met with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow, marking a crucial moment in diplomatic efforts to end the Ukraine war. Witkoff, a key figure in U.S.-Russia negotiations, has held three lengthy meetings with Putin.

The latest meeting follows a harsh critique from Trump of a recent Russian missile and drone attack on Kyiv that resulted in at least 12 deaths. Despite the attack, Trump expressed optimism about progress in peace talks, suggesting a deal might be close.

Witkoff's visit also came after photos showed him walking through central Moscow with Kirill Dmitriev, Russia's investment envoy, a key player in discussions with the Trump administration.
