MOSCOW — Russian President Vladimir Putin met with President Donald Trump ’s special envoy tasked with negotiating an end to Russia’s war in Ukraine, as well as his son-in-law, for a "constructive" five-hour meeting Tuesday, but more work needs to be done, Yuri Ushakov, a foreign policy adviser to Putin, said in a video the Kremlin posted online.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has ratcheted up tensions with Europe, warning that if the bloc starts a war with Russia, Moscow is ready.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has claimed without evidence that Russian forces have taken control of Ukrainian cities Pokrovsk and Vovchansk.

President Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, and special envoy Steve Witkoff are meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin Tuesday to discuss the war in Ukraine.

In an exclusive interview, Mikhail Khodorkovsky says Vladimir Putin has abandoned his previous pragmatism — and reveals the U.S. oil company he nearly merged Yukos with.

Yuri Ushakov said the meeting between Vladimir Putin and Steve Witkoff was "very useful, constructive, and highly substantive."
