Presidential Envoy Steve Witkoff held another meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin earlier today. This is the fifth meeting between Steve Witkoff and Vladimir Putin.
Witkoff has spent more time with Putin than any government official in recent history.
“My Special Envoy, Steve Witkoff, just had a highly productive meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Great progress was made! Afterwards, I updated some of our European Allies. Everyone agrees this War must come to a close, and we will work towards that in the days and weeks to come. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” ~ President Trump
Assistant to the President of Russia, Yuri Ushakov, on negotiations with Witkoff:
The US President’s special envoy Steve Witkoff was received by our president today. A very useful and constructive conversation took place. If we name the topics, first of all, of course, it is the Ukrainian crisis. And the second topic is the prospects for possible development of strategic cooperation between the US and Russia.
On our side, in particular on the Ukrainian issue, some signals were conveyed. Corresponding signals were received from President Trump as well.
The situation now is that our president has full information, that is, our signals and signals from President Trump. And Trump has not yet been informed about the results of this meeting. Therefore, I would refrain from more detailed comments. Let’s see when Witkoff can report to Trump about today’s conversation. After that, obviously, I will be able to supplement my comments more substantially.
Putin offered air and sea ceasefire, but no ground ceasefire.
Well, maybe this time… but i’m not holding my breath.
Putin is stalling as usual. Too bad he didn’t die of painful cancers last year.
Interesting. Thanks for posting.
“Putin offered air and sea ceasefire, but no ground ceasefire.”
Ukraine doesn’t want that.
But it’s been the imagery of bombed Kiev and other cities that has irritated Trump the most.
Will Ukraine accept an air and sea ceasefire?

Interesting. Thanks for posting.
NYT NEWS: Trump tells European leaders earlier today that he intends to hold a bilat with Putin and then shortly after a trilat with Zelensky, following Witkoff meeting in Russia.
Trump has not yet been informed about the results of this meeting. All detail of the meeting are held secret to everyone except Marcus.
Hey Marcus, why don’t you call Trump and fill him in on the result of the meeting.
We’ve got enough Fake News sources. We don’t need you to come up with your fake news.
The only response befitting your vile comment. . .
Too bad he didn’t die of painful cancers last year.
Putin died of a painful cancer every month last year. It was all faithfully reported on FR.

If Trump is going to have a trilat with Zelensky, does that mean Sir Keir Darmer will be there as he desperately wants his military (Lieutenant Colonel Richard Carroll, and Colonel Edward Blake), and MI-6 (unnamed) officers released?
