Russian President Vladimir Putin has said Russia will do everything possible to ensure the safety of U.S. mediators involved in renewed diplomatic efforts to end the war in Ukraine. The statement came as U.S. special representatives Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner met Putin in Moscow on September 5 to discuss ways to revive peace negotiations.

Putin described continued contacts between Moscow and Washington as useful and said Russia was prepared to work with the U.S. representatives. Witkoff conveyed President Donald Trump’s greetings and thanked Putin for a temporary pause in attacks during the delegation’s visit.

As part of the diplomatic effort, Russia announced a temporary halt to strike on Kyiv, while Ukraine also indicated a pause in attacks against Moscow during the talks. The measures were intended to create safer conditions for the negotiations and the movement of the U.S. delegation.

The discussions are part of a renewed U.S.-led attempt to bring Russia and Ukraine closer to negotiations after previous diplomatic efforts stalled. Witkoff and Kushner are expected to travel to Kyiv to meet Ukrainian officials, making the mission an important step in Washington’s effort to restart dialogue.

However, significant disagreements remain. Russia and Ukraine continue to differ sharply over territory, security arrangements and the conditions required for a lasting settlement. The Kremlin has described the latest discussions as useful, but no major breakthrough was announced following the meeting.

The latest developments therefore represent an opening for diplomacy rather than a confirmed peace agreement. Whether the renewed U.S. mediation can produce a broader ceasefire or meaningful negotiations will depend on how Moscow and Kyiv respond to the proposals in the coming days.$NVDAB $AAPLB
