Kushner and Witkoff Plan Meeting with Putin in Moscow This Month

Kushner and Witkoff's Diplomatic Mission

Jan 14 (Reuters) - White House envoy Steve Witkoff and U.S. President Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner are seeking to travel to Moscow to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin, Bloomberg News reported on Wednesday, citing people familiar with the matter.

Context of the Meeting

The meeting could happen this month, though plans are not final and timing may slip due to unrest in Iran, the report said.

Expected Discussion Topics

Reuters could not immediately verify the report. The White House did not immediately respond to a Reuters' request for comment.

Reactions from the White House

A White House official told Bloomberg no such meeting was currently scheduled.

The U.S. officials will present the latest draft peace proposals to Putin and his team, the report said, adding that the talks were expected to cover security guarantees from the U.S. and Europe to uphold any agreement, and Ukraine's post-war reconstruction.

This follows Trump's comments earlier this month expressing frustration with Putin over the continued war in Ukraine, repeating that he had initially believed ending the conflict would be easy.
