Putin to Meet Trump's Envoy... Kyiv Airstrikes Suspended for Three Days

Russian President Vladimir Putin is set to meet with Steve Witkoff, special envoy of U.S. President Donald Trump, and Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law, who visited Russia on the 5th (local time), according to the TASS news agency.

Special Envoy Witkoff and Kushner arrived at Vnukovo-2 Airport in the Russian capital of Moscow at around 12:52 p.m. that day.

Kirill Dmitriev, Putin's special envoy for foreign investment and economic cooperation, went to the airport to greet them, posted photos on social media of himself shaking hands with the U.S. delegation as they descended from the plane, and wrote, "Welcome to Moscow, peacemakers Witkoff and Kushner."

Kremlin Spokesperson Dmitry Peskov confirmed during a briefing that the U.S. delegation is scheduled to be received by President Putin later in the day.

Regarding plans for Special Envoy Witkoff and Kushner to meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv on the 6th, Peskov explained, "President Putin has ordered the suspension of attacks on Kyiv for three days starting at midnight tonight," adding, "This is due to the preparations and ongoing contacts between the Ukrainian side and the U.S."

When asked about the significance of the U.S. delegation's itinerary taking them from Moscow to Kyiv in that order, Peskov avoided a direct answer, stating, "You should ask the U.S. delegation about that."
