Donald Trump's latest bid to secure a negotiated end to the war in Ukraine is moving to Moscow after a round of talks that both Washington and Kyiv described as productive. The effort, led by Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff, has reached a point where direct engagement with the Kremlin is considered necessary. Russian officials confirmed that President Vladimir Putin will meet the American delegation on Tuesday, raising expectations for a rare moment of potential diplomatic progress.

The talks in Florida over the weekend brought together senior figures from both sides. U.S. representatives included Witkoff, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Jared Kushner. Ukraine sent several top advisers who worked through the fine points of the evolving peace proposal. Although the meeting did not produce a final deal, both sides reported that the discussion was serious and that progress was made.
