Steve Witkoff, the U.S. special envoy to the Middle East, will travel to Moscow on Monday.

Axar.az informs, citing Fox News, the trip comes as peace talks between Ukraine and Russia show signs of progress, with the White House pushing a peace plan to end the nearly four-year-long war.

On Sunday, Witkoff — a central figure in negotiating the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas — joined Secretary of State Marco Rubio and senior advisor Jared Kushner in Florida to meet with Ukrainian negotiators.

Rubio described the meeting as "very productive." In a statement, Rubio said that the end goal is "not just the end of the war."
