US envoys are set to travel to Moscow and Dublin on Thursday for talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the Guardian reported. The meeting marks the first US‑brokered talks since February and comes after Russia and Ukraine agreed to the "largest prisoner exchange" of the war. Senior delegations from both sides attended the two‑day talks, which were led by Donald Trump’s envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff. While the prisoner swap was confirmed, the Guardian said little progress was made toward a broader peace agreement. The talks aim to find a solution to end the nearly‑five‑year war.
Why it matters
The discussions highlight US involvement in the conflict and a major humanitarian gesture, but also show the difficulty of reaching a comprehensive peace.
