UPDATE: Kushner and Witkoff Plan Moscow Talks With Putin, Then Zelensky Meeting in Dublin

Jared Kushner and U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff plan to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Thursday before traveling to Dublin for talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Kushner said Wednesday.

The planned meetings follow two days of U.S.-brokered discussions involving Russia and Ukraine in Abu Dhabi. Kushner described those talks as a first good step, while reports said major issues in ending the war remained unresolved.

Kushner said the Moscow visit would allow the American negotiators to review the Abu Dhabi discussions with Putin and explore areas where they saw openings. They would then brief Zelensky and discuss the ideas raised during the talks.

Zelensky separately confirmed plans to meet the two U.S. negotiators in Dublin. European leaders are gathering in the Irish capital this week for European Political Community meetings, with Ukraine and European security among the issues on the agenda.

As previously reported, U.S.-brokered talks were scheduled for November 10-11 in Abu Dhabi. The latest travel plans are a follow-up to those negotiations. They are not an announcement that Russia and Ukraine have reached a peace agreement.

The discussions remain part of President Trump's effort to broker an end to Russia's war in Ukraine. The two sides remain divided over the terms of a settlement, and the next meetings are intended to continue negotiations rather than sign a completed deal.
