In the news, it's reported that Putin defends Witkoff's part in relaying Russia's viewpoints to Trump.
Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump have reportedly agreed on the details of potential security guarantees for Ukraine, according to US special envoy Steve Witkoff.
During a news conference in Beijing, Putin made these statements, praising Witkoff for accurately conveying the Kremlin's viewpoint to President Trump following their meetings. The agreement raised questions about whether Moscow made a concession or if the US delegation may have misunderstood Putin's openness to such a security arrangement for Kyiv.
Witkoff, who has been involved in diplomatic efforts concerning the Ukraine conflict since early 2022, has met with Putin five times in Russia this year. His role includes trying to facilitate negotiations and peace efforts amid ongoing conflict and complex demands from Russia, Ukraine, and Western partners.
The invasion of Ukraine is now in its fourth year, and Putin continues to demand a full end to Russia's invasion. However, he expressed that the US administration is listening to Moscow's concerns and believes a mutual understanding is emerging between Russia and the US.
Putin did not specify the details of the security guarantees he discussed with President Trump. The Kremlin has not yet confirmed this agreement.
Witkoff took part in the summit in Alaska between Putin and President Trump last month. Putin stated that those who criticize Witkoff do not support his position or that of President Trump.
The agreement, if confirmed, could mark a significant development in the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. It is hoped that it will lead to a peaceful resolution and an end to the invasion.
The situation remains fluid, and further developments are expected in the coming days and weeks. It is crucial for all parties involved to continue working towards a peaceful resolution and the preservation of Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity.
