The US correspondent Steve Witkoff arrived at the Kremlin to meet President Vladimir Putin, according to Russian agencies report. Witkoff “was welcomed by the special representative of the Russian president Kirill Dmitriev” to Vnukovo airport, says Tass. The US correspondent will meet Russian leaders, a few days before the expiry of the ultimatum date from Trump to Moscow to stop the offensive in Ukraine. Right arm of the American president for the ‘Peace Missions’, Witkoff has already seen Vladimir Putin several times but none of these meetings has led the Russian president to change course on the war with Kiev. The relationships between Moscow and Washington saw a sudden peak of tension since last week, with the sending of two nuclear submarines from Trump following an online bickering with the former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev. Last week the US leader granted Russia 10 days, until Friday, to stop the offensive in Ukraine, under penalty of new penalties. Trump has particularly threatened to impose “secondary duties” to the countries that continue to trade with Moscow, such as China and India. “Tomorrow we have a meeting with Russia: we will see what happens, we will make that decision then,” said the US president yesterday.
