Reuters reported that US special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner set off from the Russian capital Moscow. They met with Russian President Vladimir Putin for three hours yesterday, but there seemed to be no breakthrough.

After Weikov and Kushner visited Ukraine's capital Kiev for the first time as U.S. envoys, they met with Zelensky and other senior Ukrainian government officials.
