Witkoff to present Putin with peace proposal after talks with Zelensky

Steve Witkoff, a key envoy for the White House, is set to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin in St. Petersburg to deliver an updated peace proposal aimed at ending the conflict in Ukraine. The meeting, which will include a virtual participation from Jared Kushner, comes after the U.S. lifted sanctions on Russian diesel sales, a move that Moscow has welcomed. This initiative underscores the White House's efforts to find a diplomatic resolution to the war, hoping that Putin's willingness to compromise will be bolstered by these conciliatory actions from the Trump administration.
