Putin meets Trump’s men in Moscow, next stop: Kyiv

Two senior envoys from former President Donald Trump have left Moscow after meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin. On Sunday, the delegation will travel to Kyiv for talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The visit marks a rare direct contact between top U.S. political figures and the Kremlin in recent months. The envoys, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, did not disclose details of their discussions with Putin. However, the Russian leader reportedly described the contact with Washington as “useful.” The trip signals a potential shift in diplomatic engagement as the United States seeks to re-establish communication with both Moscow and Kyiv. The upcoming meeting in Ukraine is expected to focus on ongoing tensions and possible paths toward de-escalation.
