Russian President Vladimir Putin met with Witkoff and Kushner in Moscow to discuss potential pathways to peace in Ukraine. The meeting followed Putin's stern warning to Europe about the consequences of direct conflict with Russia and his rejection of recent European peace proposals, which he described as unacceptable. Recent leaked United States draft proposals have sparked concern among Ukrainian and European officials, who criticized them for conceding to several of Moscow's key demands. In response, European powers presented a counter-proposal, and subsequent talks in Geneva led to the announcement of an updated peace framework by the United States and Ukraine. During the meeting, Putin expressed his satisfaction at seeing Witkoff and Kushner, signaling ongoing diplomatic engagement despite persistent disagreements.
