Kushner and Witkoff to meet with Putin in Moscow Tuesday as Trump pushes for Russia-Ukraine deal

Washington — President Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, and U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff are meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Tuesday, a White House source confirmed, as Mr. Trump presses for an end to the fighting in Ukraine.

The meeting comes after U.S. and Ukrainian officials held talks in Florida over the weekend. Witkoff has met with Putin before, as he has turned his focus toward Ukraine after he and Kushner helped broker the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. .......................

"They're making concessions," Mr. Trump told reporters of the Russians. "They're big concessions. They stop fighting, and they don't take any more land."

Those two things aren't going to be seen as concessions to European leaders, who believe Russia should give back Ukrainian territory it has occupied. Ukraine has also pushed for security guarantees as part of any deal to end the war, though Russia has rejected the idea of Ukraine joining NATO, which would obligate the U.S. and other member states to come to its defense........................

That's the only acceptable endpoint. Otherwise EU contributes more and Ukraine drives out more Russians and destroys more Russian economic and logistics infrastructure.

Jared is feathering his (and Daddy-in-law's) nest with dirty Russian money. There's no other explanation for his presence.

so he clearly has the standing to negotiate away a different nation's sovereignty and set up seemingly-lucrative deals for himself in the Russian Arctic (though it takes a special and ruthless operator to actually extract real money out of Russia, when Putin and his gang of experienced mob bosses are on the spot).
