Diplomatic breakthroughs are brewing as former Trump administration figures Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner wrapped up a high-stakes, three-hour meeting with Vladimir Putin in Moscow — the first time these envoys have visited Ukraine’s capital since. Behind closed doors at Putin’s residence, they discussed “substantive plans for next steps,” with both sides calling talks “constructive” and “extremely frank.” A surprise truce pause on strikes against each other’s capitals was also agreed upon, while discussions expanded to economic cooperation and addressing the conflict’s root causes. With Ukraine’s airspace still closed since 2022, travel logistics remain unclear — but with aerial attacks intensifying on both sides, this diplomatic push signals a critical pivot toward de-escalation, potentially revealing major developments within weeks.
