Russia and Ukraine did not participate in any direct discussion after the start of the war in February 2022. However, the Kremlin said the three -hour meeting of Trump's envoy to Trump in Moscow and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Friday talked about the possibility of direct discussion between Russia and Ukraine.
Steve Witcoof has now emerged as the US chief negotiator with Putin. Trump is seeking an agreement to end the war, and as part of this, Witkoff has already held a three -long meeting with Putin three times.
A video released in the Russian state media shows that Putin and Witkoff in the Kremlin are exchanging some words in English and discussing each other in English.
Kremlin's foreign policy assistant Yuri Ushakov was also present in the discussion. He said, 'The three -hour discussion was constructive and extremely fruitful. Through this discussion, the position between Russia and the United States has become closer to multiple international issues, including the Ukraine issue. '
“The Ukraine crisis has been emphasized in the discussion of the Ukraine crisis, especially the possibilities to resume direct discussions between Russia and Ukraine.”
So far, Witcoof or the White House has not commented on the meeting.
It should be noted that this week, European and Ukrainian officials objected to some of the US proposals. These proposals discussed the end of the Ukraine war to stop the warriors of the war and the possibility of peace agreement in Russia, under Russia's occupied Crimea in the 21st.
In an interview published in Time Magazine, Trump said, “Crimea will be in Russia and Jelnsky understands that.”
On the other hand, Ukraine is still rejecting any proposal to release the land in Russia.
