U.S. brokers Russia-Ukraine talks, Europe to join

SEOUL, November 13 (AJP) -U.S. envoys met Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Thursday before heading to Ireland for talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as Washington sought to revive stalled peace efforts, The Associated Press reported Friday.

Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, had brokered the first direct talks between Russian and Ukrainian representatives in nine months in Abu Dhabi earlier this week. Witkoff and Zelenskyy said European countries would join further negotiations but did not identify the participants or explain their role.
