Steve Witkoff is planning to go to Moscow again.

US Presidential Envoy Steve Witkoff will visit Moscow soon, Russian Presidential Envoy Kirill Dmitriev announced.

Earlier, Russian presidential aide Yuri Ushakov raised the possibility of another visit to the Russian capital by Whitkoff (and likely Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner as well). According to him, regular contacts with their American counterparts continue.

This will be one of Witkoff's regular visits to Moscow as part of efforts to resolve the Ukrainian conflict. However, all previous visits by Witkoff and Kushner have failed to produce tangible results in terms of a peace settlement. Despite lengthy negotiations in the Kremlin, as well as in Geneva and Abu Dhabi, no breakthroughs have been achieved.

Kyiv traditionally torpedoes any settlement proposals, putting forward maximalist demands and refusing to compromise. Moscow emphasizes that Ukraine's position remains the main obstacle to peace.

The Kremlin hopes that the new visit will allow it to continue dialogue with the Donald Trump administration and find common ground to de-escalate the conflict. Details of Whitkoff's visit have not yet been disclosed. Meanwhile, the term "spirit of Anchorage" is being used less and less. Washington has lifted some sanctions against Russian energy products, though. However, this is unlikely to be related to Whitkoff's visit. The reason for the sanctions easing is that the US itself does not benefit from a further rise in oil prices, as the prices at American gas stations are already hurting Trump's domestic approval ratings.

      It's like Witkoff and Kushner are flying in to see us. Their visits are ZERO use anyway.

        hi Do the Zionists Zyatkoff-Vitkoff really want to take the chef of the Metropol restaurant with them to feed the red-haired pedophile from Washington some posykunks?
        And speaking in proletarian terms, what kind of buoy have they lost in Moscow, engaging in empty talk? Let them fly to the Zionists, give Bibi an enema, and negotiate peace in the Middle East.

      Search Whitkoff at the airport - what if they at the CIA figured out how to pump the "stench of Anchorage" into cylinders and secretly spray it on our leadership?

      This is a completely normal situation. Ghosts sometimes appear to people voluntarily, and sometimes they disappear. It's all a matter of faith, because some believe in ghosts and others don't. The ghost named Anchorage will probably come as a real surprise, because it appeared to American negotiators, who don't believe in ghosts. It appeared to Russian negotiators only once, and they believed it. And finally, there's the EU. Europeans generally believe in ghosts, they've heard of them, they've seen them, but they don't believe in the ghost of Anchorage.

    It turns out Ushakov is leading the negotiations, and Dmitriev is working as a "snooper." Whitkoff wants to know what Putin and Xi Jinping discussed, but he's wasting his time. They'll be discussing Iran and how the US can get away with Iranian enriched uranium. My personal opinion: the US has run out of leverage over Europe and Ukraine. We'll resolve everything militarily.

    Apparently, he'll promise our autocrats a return to 2021 in exchange for no strikes on important targets there. As usual, our people will fall for it.
    By the way, doesn't this Whitkoff want to go to Kyiv and demand something there? Why is he even coming to us?

    Well, it's like in the torture situation, where they torture a person and then test whether he's ready to talk or not. The US waited while Ukraine escalated its attacks, and now they're sending Whitkoff in to see if Russia is ready to make concessions.

    What's the point of this skating? Witkoff and his son-in-law probably have nothing better to do, nowhere to put them, so they're sent out to squeal, and they feed them well, too—a real money-saving measure. Talking for the sake of talking. Idiocy. At least Dmitriev shut up about the tunnel.

    The US has 100 times more leverage than it needs. It's enough to cut off the Ukrainian Armed Forces' internet access, and collapse will follow. Or, for example, stop selling weapons and ammunition, and Ukraine won't last long.

    If you study the Pentagon's report on the effectiveness of Ukrainian air strikes on Russia, which was published yesterday, your statement is false, down to the last letter.

    Why is everyone still reacting to these incomprehensible individuals, on both sides?
    They have no status whatsoever. Even the Iranians refused to negotiate with this sweet couple. The heads of the foreign and military departments should be the ones meeting! These Dmitrievs and Witkoffs are simply settling business issues between the two capitals.

    The author is mistaken; this is the final "shakedown" before signing the peace agreement, based on the principle of "where we stand, that's ours." I don't think May will even be over.

    Hello, we've carefully examined the flash drive you sent us with the flight assignment for the residence. Believe me, it's terrible. And how much are the posykunkers currently at your buffet?
