Ukraine says Starshield speed caps are hindering drone interceptions as U.S. envoys press Putin on a prisoner swap and broader peace talks.
- U.S. envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff met Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Thursday to discuss results from two days of trilateral peace talks held in Abu Dhabi earlier this week.
- The Abu Dhabi negotiations marked the first direct U.S.-mediated talks between Russia and Ukraine in nine months; delegations agreed on a major prisoner exchange, the largest of the war to date.

- Witkoff and Kushner are expected to travel to Dublin later Thursday for discussions with Zelenskyy, who said there is a "window of opportunity" to end the conflict before 2027.
