Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told reporters that Russia feels “cautious optimism” regarding future negotiations and that Witkoff provided additional details of the U.S. position on Ukraine.
While Moscow agrees “in principle” with Washington’s stance, Peskov noted that certain issues must be clarified. He did not elaborate on the specifics, saying only that Putin posed “several questions” that require a joint response.
“There is still much work ahead, but the president expressed solidarity with President Trump’s position,” Peskov said, adding that once Witkoff relays Moscow’s perspective to Trump, both leaders will schedule a phone conversation.

Nobody is going to say no.
Everyone will say yes, with insurmountable conditions.
President Trump will close the deal.
Now that the Kursk cauldron has closed on the remnants of the Ukrainian Army maybe Little Z-Man will quit jonesing for WW3.
No rush. Russia has all the cards and is “bombing the hell out of” Ukraine.
There was an obscure blurb from somewhere, saying Zelensky was not in Saudi Arabia for the ceasefire proposal.
Similarly, Trump’s team has sounded a great deal more aggressive than Trump himself — and this suggests the phone call is required because of concerns in the Kremlin that Trump’s staff are not aligned with his policies. There is certainly precedent for this, with what happened in Syria, where Trump orders were disobeyed.
President Trump will get his ceasefire by Easter.
Like negotiating a safe house for the little dictator.
Maybe the Idi Amin suite is still available in Jeddah.
The little dictator could return to his former profession and entertain the royal family as official court jester.
I hear he plays a mean piano.
Let’s hope for the best.
I trust President Trump - I DON’T trust the Z man...
El Presidente Rodriguez
In the 1965 episode of Gilligan’s Island titled “The Little Dictator,” the island is taken over by an exiled Latin American dictator named El Presidente Rodriguez, who is portrayed by Nehemiah Persoff. Rodriguez identifies himself as Equarico’s leader, but Gilligan believes he’s no more a dictator than Gilligan is George Washington.
Z-Boi is out ahead of his blockers. He’s over his ski tips.
He’s weak and has masters. Not a John Gotti.
He will be dissapeared.
I distrust Z.....in particular for.....playing the EU against the USA.
It will take time, but it will be done. Many will try to block the deal to keep alive the hate Russia gravy train going but, the ride is over. Putin will get his territories and his victory party. But Russia will have to pay. Good news, with sanctions taken off, Russia can afford to pay Ukraine. The gas will flow again. Putin will get his statue next to Catherine the great, they may even put up a statue to Trump.
Three Phases= 1. Ceasefire, 2. Peace talks, 3. Treaty of Peace & normalization. The hard parts is the peace talks to come.
Good news, with sanctions taken off,
********************
Investment bankers are “champing at the bit” to get “Russia Business” back on the menu.
A Peace arrangement will happen, sooner rather than later.
Trump is proposing a win-win, if only each side will see that. It’s not only lost territory, it’s another lost 100k if he starts sending more lethality into it.
I agree, Peace will be at hand. In fact, we have more in common that we have in opposition. They want Crimea—we want Greenland and Panama Canal. If Russia and America work together—who can stand against us?
