Update: Putin meets Witkoff and Kushner at the Kremlin, proposes a Konstantinovka humanitarian mission and warns foreign troops in Ukraine would be targets
Vladimir Putin received U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner at the Kremlin on Thursday, the day after the Abu Dhabi talks ended, and proposed a humanitarian mission in Konstantinovka modeled on one in Alyoshki, saying about 400-500 civilians remain there and Russia would need five days to clear mines, TASS reported. Putin said any foreign troops in Ukraine would be a legitimate target and that if European troops deployed "the war would resume," while Witkoff said he would brief Zelenskyy on the talks, according to TASS. The AP reported the envoys headed from Moscow to Dublin to see Zelenskyy.
