US envoy Steve Witkoff is expected to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Tuesday as part of ongoing diplomatic efforts to advance the Trump administration’s contentious proposal for ending the war in Ukraine.
According to officials familiar with the planned engagement, the meeting is aimed at exploring possible frameworks for a ceasefire and long-term security arrangements between Russia and Ukraine. The Trump administration has been pushing its own roadmap for peace—one that has drawn mixed reactions internationally due to concerns over potential concessions to Moscow.
Witkoff’s visit marks one of the most significant high-level contacts between Washington and Moscow since discussions around the conflict resumed. While details of the proposal remain closely guarded,
US officials say the administration is seeking “a realistic path toward de-escalation” that would halt frontline hostilities and open the door to broader political negotiations.
The Kremlin has not released specifics of Putin’s expected position but confirmed that the meeting will focus on “possible scenarios for a peaceful settlement.”
It remains unclear how Kyiv will react to the talks, as Ukrainian officials have repeatedly insisted that no agreement should undermine the country’s territorial integrity.
The outcome of the Moscow meeting is expected to shape the next phase of international deliberations on the future of the war.
