US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner arrived in Moscow on November 12 for talks with Vladimir Putin on ending the war in Ukraine. The visit followed two days of Abu Dhabi talks on November 10-11 that produced no major breakthrough, and they are expected to brief Zelenskyy in Dublin afterward. Kyiv Post reported that Putin proposed another humanitarian mission in Ukraine, this time from Kostiantynivka, while claiming Russian control of the city and calling for permanent peace. Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov praised NATO commander Alexus Grynkewich's contribution to the Abu Dhabi talks while warning against European participation in future negotiations. The envoys also discussed prisoner exchanges and Europe's future security role.
