U.S. envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff are traveling to Moscow to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin, then plan to meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on the sidelines of the European Political Community summit in Dublin. The meetings follow two days of U.S.-brokered Russia-Ukraine talks in Abu Dhabi; Kushner called them a positive first step, though little progress was made on key obstacles to a peace deal, including territorial demands and Ukraine’s security. The sides agreed to a major prisoner-of-war exchange, with details still to be finalized. Zelensky is expected to receive a briefing and discuss possible next steps; Kyiv continues to call for an unconditional ceasefire and rejects concessions it says could enable another Russian invasion. Dublin is hosting around 50 European leaders amid extensive security measures and traffic restrictions.
