War in Ukraine
Kremlin: Putin meets Putin in Moscow
Moscow wants to talk to the US special envoy Witkoff again about the Russian attack war against Ukraine. Does this visit bring a peace agreement?
The US specialist Steve Witkoff has another conversation with Vladimir Putin two weeks after his last meeting with the Russian President, according to Kremlin in Moscow. According to the Russian news agency Interfax, Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskow said that President Putin Witkoff received. State television showed the two of them in the handshake. “So good to see them,” said Witkoff as a greeting.
US President Donald Trump’s envoy landed at Wnukowo’s capital airport in the morning. After arriving with Putin’s representative for economic cooperation, Kirill Dmitrijew, Witkoff had met. The head of the state fund for direct investments also took part in the conversation between Putin and Witkoff. Putin’s foreign policy advisor Juri Uschakow was also present.
The United States and Russia had announced the new visit to Witkoff without naming a date. Further discussions about a possible peace agreement in the Russian attack war against Ukraine are expected.
Lavrov: Fine Ukraine Deal
The Kremlin had recently spoken of tense negotiations. In the interview of the US broadcaster CBS, Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that a Ukraine deal still had to be fine-tuned.
Witkoff has met Putin personally several times and always commented on him strikingly about him after the conversation. Most recently, he spoke to the Kremlin chief on April 11th in St. Petersburg for more than four hours. The American had already been negotiated in Russia in February and March. The new conversation with Putin is also a further step to a possible meeting of the presidents of both countries.
Under US President Trump, the United States has performed a sharp change of course and are no longer ready to support Ukraine in the long term in its defensive fight against the Russian invasion. Washington mainly exerts pressure on Kiev to achieve a quick peace and give up territory. Trump and Putin have already phoned. Both sides declared the willingness to meet.
