- Putin hosted U.S. special envoy Witkoff in a grand imperial palace on Wednesday to review new ideas for ending the war in Ukraine.
- Witkoff pressed Putin to restart peace talks and called him a “humanitarian,” while Russia released a jailed American before the envoy’s visit.
Why it matters: The source describes the Ukraine war as Europe’s bloodiest since the Second World War, while the immediate diplomatic objective was to restart talks. The concrete development was narrower: Russia released one jailed American before Witkoff’s visit.
