U.S. President Donald Trump issued an ultimatum to moscow and Kyiv, demanding that they hold direct negotiations. This was stated by Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff in an interview with Breitbart News, reports the Telegram channel “Radio Svoboda”.
“In his opinion, if the negotiations don’t take place, and don’t take place quickly, the United States should exit this conflict—whatever that means—and not be involved in it”, - Witkoff said about Trump’s position.
“We are ready to be mediators. But this is not our war. We didn’t start this war. But we want to help end it”, - Witkoff added.
As reported, moscow rejected the possibility of putin traveling to Istanbul.
The day before, Volodymyr Zelensky emphasized that he is ready for a meeting in Istanbul.
