U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff said he and Jared Kushner, the son-in-law of U.S. President Donald Trump, will travel to Moscow on Jan. 22 for a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Speaking in an interview with Bloomberg Television in Davos on Jan. 21, Witkoff said the visit follows an invitation from Russian officials, describing the move as a significant development amid Washington-led efforts to broker peace between Kyiv and Moscow.
Witkoff added that President Trump remains focused on reaching a peace agreement and said notable progress has been made toward a potential settlement, with what he described as “even more significant improvement” in recent efforts.
“I think everybody is embedded in the process and wants to see a peace deal happen,” he added.
