US President Trump's envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner traveled to Moscow for roughly three hours of talks with Vladimir Putin, followed by their first visit to Kyiv to meet President Zelensky. The Kremlin described the talks as 'useful' but noted no breakthrough, while Witkoff's team pushed for movement on a broader peace framework. According to Bloomberg, sources say the Moscow visit yielded no progress toward peace, and Russia instead plans to intensify its attacks on Ukraine through the winter months, testing Kyiv's resilience and the resolve of its Western allies. The report suggests serious peace negotiations are unlikely to materialize before 2027, casting doubt on the near-term prospects of the US-brokered diplomatic push.
