US Presidential Envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner visited Moscow and Kyiv on September 5-6.
A meeting between Russian and US Presidents Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump is possible only after the parties reach an agreement to end the crisis in Ukraine. This condition for negotiations between heads of state was named by First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs Dmitry Novikov, his words are quoted by Gazeta.Ru.
“A meeting between them becomes meaningful when it is possible to reach some agreement. Agreements are not taken out of thin air, they are spoken by people, they are spoken by those who are directed by the heads of state,” the parliamentarian said.
Novikov also emphasized that the meeting of heads of state on the Ukrainian conflict makes no sense until many issues are resolved at the working level.
