ISTANBUL (AA) - The Kremlin on Wednesday said Russian President Vladimir Putin is scheduled to meet US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff in Moscow on Thursday.

“We expect such a meeting tomorrow. It is on the president's schedule,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told state news agency TASS.

"We’ll be seeing the Russians, Jared (Kushner) and I, sometime on Thursday evening," Witkoff earlier told CNBC, referring to US President Donald Trump’s son-in-law.

Both Steve and Kushner have held multiple meetings with Putin, as well as Ukrainian delegations, aimed at ending the Russia-Ukraine war.
