Summary
Jared Kushner said he and envoy Steve Witkoff will go to Moscow on Thursday to brief Vladimir Putin on Abu Dhabi talks that ended without a clear breakthrough.
Less than 2 hours of talks on Wednesday produced an “important humanitarian agreement” on a new prisoner exchange, but Russian and Ukrainian negotiators both said major gaps remained on security and broader terms.
Kushner said the pair will also push humanitarian relief, try to widen the format to include European countries, and then travel to Dublin to discuss the proposals with Volodymyr Zelensky.
European officials were in Abu Dhabi for separate meetings with US and Ukrainian negotiators, while Moscow again resisted their inclusion even as Washington says future talks should give Europe a direct seat.
