WASHINGTON (AA) - A high-level meeting in Moscow between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump’s envoy Steve Witkoff and son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner concluded after around five hours, according to several Russian media outlets Tuesday.

The talks were also attended by senior US and Russian officials.

Kirill Dmitriev, Putin’s envoy, who participated in the discussions, described the meeting as “productive” in a post on the US social media company X’s platform, where he shared a photo from inside the talks in the Kremlin.

There was no immediate statement from the US side.

The Axios news site reported that Witkoff and Kushner are expected to brief Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Europe on Wednesday about the discussions.

The US plan, initially 28 points, was narrowed down during recent discussions with Kyiv, focusing primarily on defining a de facto border under a potential ceasefire.
