## Key points

- US envoys arrived in Moscow to meet Putin.
- Abu Dhabi talks yielded no major breakthrough.
- Negotiators agreed to work towards a large prisoner release.

## Summary

US envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff arrived in Moscow to meet Vladimir Putin, following two days of trilateral peace talks in Abu Dhabi. Their visit is part of continuing US efforts to broker an end to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, with a possible subsequent meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Ireland.

The Abu Dhabi talks produced no major breakthrough, but Kushner said the sides had agreed to finalise numbers for what could be their largest prisoner release. The US envoys are also expected to discuss including European partners in the talks. Fighting continued overnight: Russia said it targeted Ukrainian military and energy sites, while Ukrainian infrastructure was reported damaged and Russia said it had shot down drones near Moscow and elsewhere.
