Secret negotiations in Moscow: Putin received Trump's envoys at the Kremlin

US President Donald Trump's special envoys Steve Witkoff and his son-in-law Jared Kushner arrived unexpectedly in Moscow and met with Russian President Vladimir Putin at the Kremlin. Traveling in a motorcade of official Russian luxury Aurus cars, the American negotiators were received at the Kremlin to discuss Trump's new initiatives to end the war in Ukraine. At the conclusion of the talks, Putin asked them to convey his gratitude to Trump, noting that Moscow is pleased to work with the American mediators. The next destination for Trump's envoys is expected to be Kyiv.

The true essence of the visit and the next geopolitical steps are generating great interest:
