Executive Briefing

According to reporting by New York Times World, The Kremlin, taking a hard line, is pushing to widen negotiations to overhaul European security structures.

Detailed Factual Report

The Kremlin, taking a hard line, is pushing to widen negotiations to overhaul European security structures.

President Trump’s envoys went to Moscow on Thursday to seek agreement from President Vladimir V. Putin to bring Europe into talks on the war in Ukraine, as the Kremlin pushes to widen the negotiations to overhaul European security arrangements.

The envoys, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, arrived in Russia one day after mediating peace talks in Abu Dhabi between Russian and Ukrainian representatives, who spoke directly for the first time in nine months. After meeting with Mr. Putin in the Kremlin, the envoys were scheduled to travel to Dublin to meet with President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine.

Mr. Witkoff and Mr. Kushner are pressing to involve Europe in the talks as Russia makes clear that it will not consider a cease-fire until its broader demands to redraw the European security architecture are addressed.
