White ​House envoy Steve Witkoff ⁠and U.S. President Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner are seeking to travel to Moscow to meet ‌Russian ‌President Vladimir Putin, Bloomberg News reported on Wednesday, citing ‌people familiar with the matter.

The meeting could happen this month, though plans are not final and timing may slip due to ​unrest in Iran, ​the report said. A White House official said ‌no ‍such meeting is scheduled at ‍this time, responding to a Reuters request ‌for comment.

The U.S. officials will present the latest draft peace proposals to Putin and his team, the report said, adding that the talks were expected to cover ‍security guarantees from the U.S. and Europe to uphold any agreement, ‍and ⁠Ukraine's post-war reconstruction.


This ⁠follows Trump's comments earlier this month expressing frustration with Putin over the continued war in Ukraine, repeating that he had initially believed ending the conflict would be easy.
