A meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin is set to take place on Thursday with “land deals” over Ukraine on the table, Special Envoy Steve Witkoff told CNBC.
″[There’s been] lots of progress in the last six to eight weeks,” Witkoff said, noting that he and President Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner would be meeting Ukrainian officials Wednesday evening before meeting top Russian officials.
“And then we’ll be seeing the Russians, Jared and I, sometime on Thursday evening,” Witkoff told CNBC’s Sara Eisen at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
Putin would be present at the meeting, Witkoff said, noting that the Kremlin had requested the talks.
Witkoff said discussions over a U.S.-led 20-point peace plan making progress.
