Steve Witkoff, the special envoy of United States President Donald Trump, has arrived in Russia to meet with President Vladimir Putin regarding the ongoing war in Ukraine. According to Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov, the discussion will focus on various aspects of the Ukrainian conflict as Witkoff represents Trump’s interests. Footage of Witkoff leaving a hotel with Kirill Dmitriev, Russia’s economic negotiator, was shared by Russian state media earlier on Friday.

The dialogue between the U.S. and Russia regarding Ukraine remains crucial as ceasefire negotiations have stalled. Despite ongoing discussions, previous efforts to achieve a ceasefire have faced setbacks, particularly following Putin’s rejection of proposals.
