US envoys head to meet Zelensky after talks with Putin in Moscow

NEW: US envoy Steve Witkoff says Putin has agreed to let European negotiators join the next round of Ukraine peace talks, as Witkoff and Kushner fly to Dublin to meet Zelensky after Moscow talks.

Vladimir Putin has agreed to let European negotiators join the next round of Ukraine peace talks. That word comes from US envoy Steve Witkoff, who met Putin at the Kremlin alongside Jared Kushner, a day after talks wrapped in Abu Dhabi. The pair are now flying to Dublin to sit down with President Zelensky, and Witkoff says a trilateral round is already agreed.

The gaps remain wide. Putin told the envoys the only line he will discuss is the state border itself, no grey zones, and Kremlin demands on territory and neutrality still far exceed anything Kyiv will consider.

Zelensky, meanwhile, raised a separate alarm. He says Ukraine's military-grade Starlink service is facing systematic restrictions, for several days now, and the outage is helping Russia strike more accurately. His words were pointed. If someone in America treats Ukrainian territory as not Ukrainian, he said, that tells us where things are going.
