According to Reuters interlocutors, just Witcoff invited to the US Director of the Russian Direct Investment Fund Kirill Dmitriev, who began to represent Moscow in negotiations regarding Ukraine.

Less than two days after meeting with Dmitriev Vitcoff, he met with Trump and told him that the fastest way to cease fire in Ukraine was to recognize the four regions of Ukraine in Russian, which she illegally annexed in 2022, according to seven sources of Reuters.
The meeting was attended by General Keith Kellogg, who is now a US Presidential Representative for Ukraine, and he opposed Vitcoff. Kellogo explained that Ukraine will never agree unilaterally to give these territories of Russia, two interlocutors of the agency say.
These, as well as other publicly announced statements by Vitcoff, caused indignation at some White House and Republican Party. For example, after The scandalous interview of Trump’s messenger Taeru Carlson The Great Donor of the Republican Party Eric Levin said « Vitcoff should go. »
« Some Republicans on the Capitol Hill were so concerned about Vitcoff’s obvious pro -Russian position in an interview with Carlson that they then called a national security adviser Mike Volts and Secretary of State Marco Rubio to complain, according to a person familiar with these calls. »
