In a high-stakes diplomatic move, Russian President Vladimir Putin hosted U.S. envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff in Moscow amid urgent efforts to end the war in Ukraine — the deadliest conflict in Europe since WWII.

The meeting coincided with former President Trump hinting at a new proposal, though details remained secret.

A tense but hopeful window for peace opened — but the road ahead remains perilous.
