Europe to join next round of Ukraine-Russia talks

US envoy Jared Kushner said Russia and Ukraine agreed to bring European partners into the next round of talks. Kushner and Steve Witkoff met Putin in Moscow, then Zelensky in Dublin. Zelensky welcomed the move. Moscow has not confirmed it. Reports said Putin kept his territorial demands and warned he would target foreign troops sent to Ukraine. Kushner also said a large prisoner exchange is being prepared.
