U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff arrived in Moscow this morning, December 2nd, for talks with Russian officials, following his departure from Moscow's Vnukovo International Airport. His arrival comes as Ukraine reportedly carried out at least 14 drone attacks on Russian oil refineries, tankers, and oil-loading facilities in November, according to Bloomberg. Witkoff's presence in Moscow coincides with heightened tensions and ongoing diplomatic efforts. The U.S. is attempting to broker a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine. The drone attacks in November represent a significant escalation in Ukrainian tactics targeting Russia's strategic oil infrastructure. Previous reports from this morning detailed the Russian tanker Midvolga 2 being targeted by a drone in the Black Sea, though all 13 crew members were reported safe. Separately, talks between American and Ukrainian delegations in Florida concluded without progress on territorial concessions, according to ABC News.
