Putin Meets U.S. Envoys in Moscow After In-Principle Prisoner Deal
What happened
US envoys met with Russian President Putin in Moscow on November 12, following two days of US-mediated discussions in Abu Dhabi among Russian, Ukrainian, and US representatives. The envoys, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, traveled to Moscow from Abu Dhabi on November 11. The meeting in Moscow was reportedly productive, with no major advance toward a broader peace settlement. No final figure was announced for the prisoner exchange.
Why it matters
The prisoner exchange may have significant implications for the ongoing conflict, and its outcome could influence future diplomatic efforts. The exchange remains at the in-principle stage, with no final count announced. The talks did not address central points in negotiations, including Ukraine's security guarantees, territory under Russian occupation, and Europe's role in the diplomatic process.

- No final figure was announced for the prisoner exchange
