In Short:
– U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff held three-hour talks with President Putin on Ukraine before Trump’s sanctions deadline.
– Russia may suggest a moratorium on airstrikes, but progress towards a ceasefire remains elusive.
U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff met with Russian President Vladimir Putin for “useful and constructive” talks on August 6. According to Reuters, the meeting came before a deadline set by President Donald Trump for Russia to agree to a peace plan regarding Ukraine, or face new sanctions. The discussions lasted about three hours and focused on the ongoing conflict that began with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.Banner

Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov noted that both sides exchanged “signals” regarding Ukraine and potential strategic cooperation, but withheld further details pending Witkoff’s report back to Trump. Trump has expressed frustration with the lack of progress and threatened tariffs on countries purchasing Russian exports.

Russia’s Response

Bloomberg reported that Russia may propose a moratorium on airstrikes, which would not satisfy the calls for a full ceasefire. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that more information regarding sanctions would be available following Witkoff’s discussions with Trump. Putin, prioritising military objectives, shows scepticism regarding further U.S. sanctions impact.
