US envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff arrived in Moscow on 13 November 2026 to meet Vladimir Putin, before travelling to Dublin to see Volodymyr Zelensky. The trip follows Ukrainian-Russian talks held in Abu Dhabi, as Kyiv hopes for progress towards a ceasefire before 2027, according to Le Monde.
Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, the US envoys tasked with negotiations over the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, stopped in Moscow for talks with Vladimir Putin before continuing their trip to Dublin, according to Le Monde.
The two men had previously taken part in the Abu Dhabi discussions, where four hours of US-mediated negotiations marked the resumption of direct exchanges between Kyiv and Moscow after several months of interruption. On 10 November, Volodymyr Zelensky had described this first day of talks since Copenhagen, Denmark, as encouraging.
