European representatives will take part in the next negotiations between Ukraine and Russia, US envoy Steve Witkoff announced after meeting Vladimir Putin at the Kremlin on Thursday, according to Le Monde. The talks come after two days of negotiations between Moscow and Kyiv in the United Arab Emirates, which resulted in an agreement on a major prisoner exchange.
Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner met Vladimir Putin at the Kremlin on Thursday to discuss peace efforts between Russia and Ukraine. One of the aims of the meeting was to secure the Russian president’s agreement to European representatives taking part in the next talks, Jared Kushner said.
Steve Witkoff said progress had been made and that a new meeting had been scheduled, without specifying its date or location. He confirmed that European representatives would take part in the discussions.
