Russian officials say President Vladimir Putin is willing to receive U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner for further Ukraine talks, though Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov stressed that the value of the visit depends on what they bring. This comes nearly a year after Putin and President Donald Trump met in Alaska, a summit that raised hopes but ended with no ceasefire. Secretary of State Marco Rubio later responded to Russian references to the Alaska talks as a basis for further demands, saying a plan existed there but no finalized deal was reached; otherwise, he said, the war would have ended. Russia now demands Ukraine hand over the rest of Donetsk, while Ukraine proposes halting at current front lines. Lavrov rejected that truce and said Moscow has questioned U.S. intelligence support and alleged deeper involvement.
