President Donald Trump's envoys arrived at the Kremlin on Thursday (November 12, 2026) for talks with President Vladimir Putin, as Washington sought to generate new momentum in peace efforts after two days of U.S.-mediated negotiations between the Russian and Ukrainian delegations. Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, who is also Mr.Trump's son-in-law, brokered the talks in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates, which were the first direct discussions between Russian and Ukrainian officials in nine months as the push for peace stalled this year.

The talks wrapped up on Wednesday (November 11, 2026) with an agreement on a large exchange of prisoners, with the exact number still to be agreed. The talks produced no visible breakthrough in ending the nearly five years of large-scale hostilities, which began on February 24, 2022, after the fighting initially started in 2014 in eastern Ukraine.
