Talks between the two men come ahead of this Friday’s deadline set by Donald Trump for ending the war in Ukraine

US special envoy Steve Witkoff has arrived to Moscow for talks with Russia, possibly with the country’s president Vladimir Putin , ahead of this Friday’s deadline set by Donald Trump for ending the war in Ukraine.

After landing, Witkoff was met by presidential special representative Kirill Dmitriev , but the Kremlin previously had said that a direct meeting between the US envoy and Putin was “possible.”
