Kushner and Witkov meet with Putin in Russia to discuss "an approach to which Moscow has long expressed reservations."

- US President Donald Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, said that he will travel to Moscow on Thursday, accompanied by the Special Envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, after peace talks between the United States, Russia, and Ukraine ended in Abu Dhabi without reaching a tangible breakthrough. Kushner said in a press conference held in the Emirati capital, on Wednesday: “Steve and I will travel to Moscow tomorrow to meet with Russian President (Vladimir) Putin, to discuss what was discussed today and try to make additional progress on some of the issues we touched on, as we see that there are good prospects and opportunities in this regard.”

Kushner explained that he, along with Witkoff, will seek to put the final touches on humanitarian relief and prisoner exchange files, in addition to pushing for the inclusion of European countries in the talks, which is a multilateral approach that Moscow has always expressed reservations about until now. The president's son-in-law - who plays a prominent role in American diplomacy despite not holding any official position in the Trump administration - added that he will then go with Witkov to Dublin to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, to discuss the peace proposals that were put forward during the Abu Dhabi talks.

Kushner continued: "We will meet with President Zelensky to inform him of the details of what took place in the talks, and to discuss more deeply some of the ideas we reached here today." The second day of talks between the United States, Russia and Ukraine concluded on Wednesday, after lasting less than two hours.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that Russian President Vladimir Putin is “continuously” informed about the progress of peace talks in Abu Dhabi, which aim to end the war in Ukraine. Peskov said the Russian delegation would provide "more details" about the tripartite negotiations later Wednesday.
