Ukraine Russia Online: Trump’s envoy traveled to Russia, he will meet Putin
Trump’s envoy Witkoff traveled to Russiawhere, according to Axios, will meet Putin.
Trump is trying to persuade Moscow to agree with the ceasefire in Ukraine, which has defied the Russian invasion since February 2022.
Witkoff, which Trump chose as a Plenipotentiary for the Middle East, also took the contacts of the US President’s administration with the Kremlin, and in the meantime he discussed twice in Moscow with Putin. The current meeting will be the third.
Trump’s administration is trying to convey an agreement between Ukraine and Russia about a ceasefire or the end of the war, which was unleashed by Moscow. In recent weeks, Washington has tried to agree on partial ceasefire agreements on the energy and the Black Sea, but both failed, Reuters wrote.
However, Trump still believes that Axios recalls the blanket ceasefire. Ukraine has previously agreed to the proposal without further conditions, Moscow states that it agrees with the idea, but at the same time it requires to address the so -called initial causes of the conflict.
American diplomacy chief Marco Rubio a week ago at the Foreign Ministers of the North Atlantic Alliance, he said that Putin would have to comment soon whether he was really serious about the ceasefire.
Ukraine has been defending itself for more than three years from extensive Russian military aggression, and the US, under the leadership of former President Joe Biden, together with other Western countries, have been on the side of Kiev, which they provided, among other things, support of weapons supply and Russia imposed sanctions on its aggression.
After January, Trump’s return to the White House of the US, they changed their attitude to conflict and restored contacts with the Russians, which the Americans justify just trying to convey a ceasefire.
