Chatting It Up with Witkoff: Putin's Encoded Message to Trump on Ukraine Ceasefire
- Russian President Putin delivers a message to President Trump, via the American ambassador.
Here's the lowdown:
- Vlad the Impaler, aka Vladimir Putin, had a cozy meeting with US special envoy, Steve Witkoff, in the heart of Moscow. The summit went down late Thursday night, as confirmed by Dmitri Peskov, Putin's press secretary, after Witkoff left town.
- The hottest topic on the agenda? A potential ceasefire in the raging Ukraine war. Witkoff dropped some new info for Putin and gang, serving as a conduit for the Kremlin.
- Peskov wasn't about to spill all the beans. He simply stated that Putin conveyed "some juicy tidbits" and more to Trump via Witkoff. Keeping it vague, Peskov left us wondering just what those "tidbits" entailed.
- With fingers crossed, Peskov suggests there's now a "hint of hope" for a peaceful resolution to Russia's incursion in Ukraine.
- Making a call soon: Both Putin and Trump are gearing up for a chat. A date is up for grabs after Witkoff fills Trump in on the highlights from the talked-about meeting with Putin in the Kremlin.
- And, no, don't believe the rumors about Keith Kellogg getting the cold shoulder. Moscow didn't have a hand in sidelining the original US special envoy for Ukraine and Russia, Peskov firmly declared.
- Before the tête-à-tête with Witkoff, Putin put the brakes on the 30-day ceasefire in Ukraine proposed by Washington. He raised a few eyebrows and question marks, putting forth certain requirements and testing the waters during a press conference.
So, there you have it: Putin and Trump on the horn soon, and Witkoff keeping the lines of communication open. Stay tuned for updates!
