Witkoff in Moscow as Putin Threatens Vessels of Ukraine’s Allies

US envoy Steve Witkoff is in Moscow this evening for talks with President Vladimir Putin about ending his war in Ukraine.

Less than 24 hours ago, the Russian leader said his forces had seized the town of Pokrovsk, in Ukraine’s eastern Donetsk region which, if true, would be Moscow’s most significant battlefield advance in nearly two years. Ukraine has denied Pokrovsk had fallen and Bloomberg has been unable to independently verify claims by either side.
