Russian officials have noted that the meetings are unlikely to result in any imminent agreement to end the war in Ukraine.
US envoy Steve Witkoff held talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin, though officials in Moscow poured cold water on any imminent agreement to end the war in Ukraine.
Witkoff’s visit follows what a US official called “constructive” meetings with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and other European leaders.
Kyiv is coming under increased pressure from Washington: US President Donald Trump has pushed Zelenskyy to “make a deal,” which a senior EU official said could force a “surrender on Putin’s terms.”
