US envoy Witkoff to travel to Russia this week for negotiations


Steve Witkoff, a U.S. envoy, will travel to Moscow later this week to continue discussions regarding ending Russia’s war in Ukraine.

This will be the third in-person meeting of senior U.S. and Russian diplomats since President Donald Trump took office, though it will mark their first since Ukraine agreed to the U.S.-proposed 30-day ceasefire.

“Mr. Witkoff is traveling to Moscow later this week, and we urge the Russians to sign on to this plan. This is the closest we have been to peace in this war,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Wednesday. “We are at the 10-yard line, and the president is expecting the Russians to help us run this into the end zone.”
