A high-stakes meeting is currently underway in Moscow between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. At the heart of the talks is the prospect of ending the war in Ukraine, a conflict that has now stretched on for more than four years. The start of the meeting was confirmed through a video published on the Kremlin’s official channel on the MAX messaging platform. The footage captures President Putin greeting the two American officials inside the Kremlin, as discussions focus on the prospects of reaching an agreement to bring the armed conflict to an end.
