Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenksyy will reportedly meet with President Donald Trump on Thursday in Davos, according to Axios.
"I think Russia wants to make a deal, I think Ukraine wants to make a deal. I think I can say we are relatively close," Trump told the crowd at Davos.
This will not be Witkoff and Kushner's first meeting with Putin in Moscow. The two held a five-hour meeting with Putin in December, though they were not able to yield any major breakthroughs.
Representatives of the U.S. and Russia held talks in Davos, Switzerland, where world leaders are gathered for the World Economic Forum, according to Reuters, which added that Washington's envoys also met with Ukrainian and European leaders. Envoys for Putin and Trump said the talks were "very positive" and "constructive."
"Dialogue is constructive and more and more people understand the fairness of Russian position," Kirill Dmitriev, the CEO of the Russian Direct Investment Fund, said after the talks in Davos, Reuters reported.

While the issue of territory has long been a major sticking point, with Zelenskyy repeatedly opposing any land concessions, Witkoff told CNBC that "land deals" remain on the table.
The Trump administration has worked to broker a deal between Russia and Ukraine for over a year. Trump has met with both Zelenskyy and Putin, though those meetings did not appear to make major shifts to the peace process.
