Steve Witkoff is expected to discuss the settlement of the Ukraine conflict with senior Russian officials
Steve Witkoff, US President Donald Trump's special envoy, has arrived in Moscow to discuss the settlement of the Ukraine conflict.
The US official's plane landed in Moscow's Vnukovo Airport on Wednesday morning, where he was welcomed by presidential investment envoy Kirill Dmitriev, who is also the CEO of the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF). Shortly after arriving, the two took a stroll in Zaryadye Park in central Moscow near the Kremlin.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov earlier said that a face-to-face meeting between Witkoff and Russian President Vladimir Putin could not be ruled out.
US Ambassador to NATO Matthew Whitaker expressed hope that the visit would pave the way for "a breakthrough" in negotiations over Ukraine.
