The United States has asked Russia to propose a new deal on European security as part of efforts to end the war in Ukraine, which may address long-standing Russian demands to limit NATO expansion and reduce its military presence in Eastern Europe, according to Axios.
Washington wants Russia to outline steps aimed at reducing tensions and ensuring the security of European countries against future attacks.
Trump envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are scheduled to meet with Putin in Moscow on Thursday to discuss the proposal and urge European countries to participate in peace talks, despite Russian opposition and European skepticism.
The envoys are then expected to travel to Dublin to meet with Ukrainian President Zelensky on Thursday evening.
