Trump envoys arrive in Moscow ahead of Ukraine talks

Steve Witkoff, the founder of the real‑estate firm Witkoff Group, and Jared Kushner, former senior adviser to the White House, are scheduled to meet Russian officials before traveling to Ukraine on Sunday. The talks, arranged through back‑channel diplomatic contacts, are intended to discuss potential avenues for easing tensions in the region and to explore possibilities for economic cooperation that could benefit both parties.

The delegation’s itinerary places the Russian meeting earlier in the day, followed by a visit to Kyiv where they will engage with Ukrainian government representatives. Observers note that the engagement reflects a broader effort by private actors to complement official diplomatic channels amid ongoing conflict. The outcomes of the discussions are expected to be reported to relevant authorities in the United States and Europe after the visits conclude.
