Steve Witkoff is expected to meet with President Vladimir Putin on Friday

US President Donald Trump's special envoy, Steve Witkoff, has traveled to Russia to meet with President Vladimir Putin, Axios has reported.

If confirmed, the meeting would be the third since Trump initiated the normalization of relations with Moscow following his inauguration in January.

Last week, Witkoff was among several senior White House officials to host Kirill Dmitriev, Putin's aide for international economic cooperation, who traveled to Washington to continue the high-level discussions.

According to services monitoring air traffic, a plane associated with Witkoff has traveled from Florida to St. Petersburg overnight.
