Steve Witkoff, one of President Trump's key envoys helping negotiate a peace proposal between Russia and Ukraine, is set to meet with President Vladimir Putin in Moscow, the Kremlin says. CBS News' Ramy Inocencio reports.

Moscow

U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff is set to travel to Moscow for direct talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin, as confirmed by the Kremlin. This visit follows recent negotiations between U.S. and Ukrainian officials in Florida, which were described as productive but requiring further work by Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

Witkoff is also expected to meet with Putin's special envoy Kirill Dmitriev and senior aide Yuri Ushakov, continuing discussions on a Ukrainian peace proposal. Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is in France seeking additional support from President Emmanuel Macron and allied nations, as the United States increases engagement with Russia's demands in the ongoing peace process.

Trump envoy set to meet with Putin in Moscow, Russia confirms

And now to our other big story, CBS News has learned that U.S. Special Envoy Steve Whitkoff is set to travel to Moscow today. This is part of the Trump administration's ongoing push to end the war in Ukraine. Yesterday, U.S. and Ukrainian officials held talks in Florida. That lasted for approximately four hours. Secretary of State Marco Rubio then took an optimistic tone, listen. We had another very productive session building off Geneva, building off the events of this week. But there's more work to be done. This is delicate, it's complicated. There are a lot of moving parts and obviously there's another party involved here that'll have to be a part of the equation. CBS News foreign correspondent Rami Innocencio is in our London bureau with more on this. Good morning to you, Rami. We heard there Rubio saying it's delicate, it's complicated, sounding like he's taking more of a cautionary tone. So what are the prospects of a peace deal now? Sure, well, there's been a lot of back and forth, right? From two weeks ago, that 27-point peace plan, now Ukraine and the European Coalition of the Willing Countries pushing back against that last week. The next round of talks move from the son of Metropolitan Miami, though, between Witkoff and that senior Ukrainian delegation to the near subarctic of Moscow now with Witkoff and the Russian government. And the Kremlin actually has just confirmed that Witkoff will meet President Vladimir Putin himself tomorrow, Tuesday. Witkoff is also expected to meet his counterparts. Those, we should expect, could include Putin's own special envoy, Kirill Dmitriev, along with Yuri Ushakov, who is Putin's senior foreign policy aide. And as we've been reporting, Witkoff has been talking with both of them in recent weeks about this Ukrainian peace proposal. Also this morning, though, President Zelensky of Ukraine, he is on the move, as well, and he's in France for more support. He was just there two weeks ago. Back again, we saw him have a huge, huge hug with French President Emmanuel Macron at the Elysee Palace. President Zelensky looking for that support from the so-called Coalition of the Willing, along with the United Kingdom, seeing this as Ukraine's last bastion of support with the United States, now apparently trying to engage further with these more maximalist demands of Russia. But as you said, after talks with Ukraine's team on Sunday, Rubio said that there's more work to be done, and we expect that to start soon once we hear that Witkoff is on the way to Moscow. All right, those efforts continue. Ramy in London, thank you.
