US special envoy Steve Witkoff’s plane has landed at Vnukovo International Airport in Moscow after travelling from Florida, Russian news agencies are reporting.
Witkoff is expected to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin today to continue talks on a Russia-Ukraine peace deal.
Details of the meeting have yet to be confirmed by either the White House or the Kremlin.
Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has said Moscow is “ready to reach a deal” with the US to end the war, although some elements need to be “fine-tuned.”
Speaking to CBS News, Lavrov said: “The president of the United States believes, and I think rightly so, that we are moving in the right direction.”
Meanwhile, the mayor of Kyiv, Vitali Klitschko, has suggested the country may have to give away territory as part of any peace deal.
