00:00The first images have emerged from inside
00:27the Kremlin as U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and senior advisor Jared Kushner sat down
00:34with Russian President Vladimir Putin for what may become one of the most consequential
00:40diplomatic meetings of the war.
00:44Released by Russian state media just minutes after the talks began, the photograph shows
00:49Witkoff and Kushner seated across from Putin in the Kremlin's ornately decorated meeting
00:54hall. Putin sits at the head of the long white table, flanked by senior Kremlin officials,
01:00including foreign policy aide Yuri Ushakov and sovereign wealth fund chief Kirill Dmitriev.
01:07The atmosphere appears formal, tense and unmistakably high stakes. This marks Witkoff's sixth trip
01:15to Moscow this year, as the U.S. pushes a revised and heavily debated peace proposal aimed at
01:21ending Russia's nearly four-year war in Ukraine. The new plan incorporates Kyiv's feedback
01:27from recent U.S.-Ukraine talks in Florida and Miami and includes discussions over frozen
01:33Russian central bank assets and territorial-slash-security arrangements.
01:39The newly released photo underscores the seriousness of the moment. Two governments meeting without
01:45European mediators behind closed doors for an open-ended session expected to last as long as needed.
01:53The talks come just hours after Putin delivered a fiery speech in Moscow warning Europe of a swift
01:59defeat if it provokes direct conflict and rejecting European amendments to the U.S. plan as absolutely
02:06unacceptable. Despite the tough rhetoric, the Kremlin agreed to proceed with the meeting, raising hopes in
02:12Washington that 2026 could see the first real breakthrough since the war began. Alongside the
02:18photo, Russian outlets also published clips of the U.S. delegation's motorcade entering the Kremlin grounds
02:25and footage from Putin's earlier remarks at the VTV Investment Forum. No final agreement is expected
02:31tonight, but the release of the first picture makes one thing clear. The U.S. and Russia are now negotiating
02:38face-to-face once again, and the world is watching every frame.
