Russian President Vladimir Putin holds talks with US special envoy Steve Witkoff and presidential advisor Jared Kushner in Moscow on Thursday, November 12.

Witkoff and Kushner arrived direct from Abu Dhabi, where they took part in the latest trilateral talks with delegations from Russia and Ukraine.

Following the meetings, Russia's Vladimir Medinsky told reporters Europe’s existing security system was 'sick', that a 'band-aid won't cut it' - and revealed that a fundamental overhaul was a 'central topic' of the latest talks.

Kushner also appeared to blast the Europeans, saying that "if Europe (https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=%2Fm%2F02j9z) could identify one person to speak on their behalf, that would be a bigger achievement than getting the Russians to include them in the negotiations". European delegations were in Abu Dhabi but were not part of the trilateral.
