US envoys meet Putin in Moscow after Abu Dhabi talks and report progress on next negotiation round
US presidential envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner met Russian President Vladimir Putin in the Kremlin on 12 November, following two days of trilateral Ukraine-US-Russia talks in Abu Dhabi. They reported progress and said a new negotiation round would include European representatives, but gave no date or location and the Kremlin did not confirm the announced agreement. The talks produced agreement on a large-scale prisoner exchange, but no breakthrough on ending the war.
