Putin begins talks with Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner on ending war with Ukraine

Russian President Vladimir Putin held talks Saturday with US envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff at the Kremlin on ending the Ukraine war, with both Russia and Ukraine agreeing to halt strikes on each other's capitals for three days during negotiations. Trump's representatives are expected to visit Kyiv on Sunday as part of efforts to revive US-led peace talks to end the conflict, which has killed hundreds of thousands since Russia's 2022 invasion. The talks come amid continued fighting, with Russian strikes killing at least seven people in Ukraine on Saturday, including in Kyiv suburbs.
