US special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner concluded a three-hour meeting with Vladimir Putin in Moscow without a breakthrough, despite a temporary three-day strike pause.

US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner held a three-hour meeting with Vladimir Putin at the Kremlin on Saturday in a renewed push to end the war in Ukraine.

US intelligence agencies warn that the Kremlin could test NATO's collective-defence guarantee with a limited strike as early as this autumn, following a foiled explosive drone incident at a German logistics hub.
