Russian President Vladimir Putin will meet US special envoy Steve Witkoff in Moscow on Tuesday to discuss a US-backed peace plan for Ukraine. Jared Kushner, US President Trump’s son-in-law and adviser, is also expected. The talks follow meetings in Florida with Ukrainian officials, which Ukrainian President Zelensky called “constructive” but said tough issues remain. Key points include Ukraine’s sovereignty, security guarantees, and territorial disputes in the east. European leaders, including French President Macron, emphasized Ukraine’s input is essential. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said the administration is “very optimistic” about a possible agreement to end the war.
