Trump's envoy visits Moscow amid high-stakes peace talks
US President's envoy Steve Witkoff will visit Russia this week, Yuri Ushakov, an adviser to Vladimir Putin, reported on Tuesday. Witkoff has already held three meetings with the President of Russia. Their discussions have concerned the war in Ukraine.
According to the media, Donald Trump's envoy might travel to Moscow after Wednesday's meeting of the Ukrainian delegation and its allies in London.
On Monday, Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky announced that representatives from Ukraine would be in London on Wednesday to discuss achieving an "unconditional ceasefire" with Russia, leading to "lasting peace," together with allies.
The "Wall Street Journal" reported on Sunday evening that Kyiv is expected to respond during the meeting in London to a series of proposals from US President Donald Trump's administration, which, according to the American side, aim to end the war.
Crimea will be lost. Dreams of NATO too
The American proposal includes the US recognising Russia's annexation of Ukraine's Crimea and blocking Ukraine's path to NATO, the newspaper noted.
There was also a proposal to establish a neutral zone around the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, which could be under US control.
