A New Push for Peace: U. S. Envoy to Talk with Putin

The U.S. is making another attempt to end the war in Ukraine. Steve Witkoff, the U.S. special envoy, is set to visit Moscow soon. He will discuss a peace proposal with Vladimir Putin. This meeting is part of a broader effort to find a solution to the ongoing conflict.

Kremlin Confirms Visit

The Kremlin confirmed the visit. Yuri Ushakov, Putin's foreign policy adviser, said that Putin will meet with Witkoff. This will be Witkoff's sixth visit to the Kremlin in less than a year. However, Russia has not officially received the peace plan. They have an unofficial copy, which has caused some confusion due to multiple versions.

U.S. Fine-Tunes Peace Plan

Meanwhile, the U.S. has been fine-tuning the peace plan. It includes ideas like exchanging land and securing borders. The plan also involves security guarantees from European countries. The U.S. wants to finalize the deal soon, but there is no strict deadline.

Controversy Around Witkoff's Approach

There is some controversy around Witkoff's approach. A leaked transcript suggested he might be favoring Russia. However, the U.S. president dismissed these concerns. He said that negotiation tactics like these are standard. He also mentioned that Jared Kushner, his son-in-law, might join the trip.

Complex Peace Process

The peace process is complex. It involves many parties and different interests. The goal is to find a solution that works for everyone. However, it is not clear if this latest effort will succeed.
