At the Kremlin, Vladimir Putin is holding talks with Steve Witkoff, the US president's special envoy, and Jared Kushner, Donald Trump's son-in-law.
On the Russian side, the meeting is attended by presidential aide Yuri Ushakov, Vladimir Medinsky, who heads the Russian negotiating delegation, and Kirill Dmitriev, director of the Russian Direct Investment Fund.
Witkoff and Kushner came to the capital from Abu Dhabi, where trilateral consultations between representatives of Moscow, Washington and Kyiv ended the day before. According to Medinsky, the sides were able to move closer to peace, but much now depends on all participants in the process.
