Moscow, Russia: Russian President Vladimir Putin will meet US special envoy Steve Witkoff for talks on Thursday, the Kremlin's spokesperson said.

"Yes, indeed, such contacts for tomorrow are on the president's schedule," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told the RBK news outlet on Wednesday.

Witkoff had told Bloomberg TV earlier he planned to leave for Moscow from the World Economic Forum in Davos on Thursday night alongside Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law, who has also been tasked with negotiating an exit from the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
