US President Donald Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff arrived in Moscow on August 6. He was met at Vnukovo Airport by Kirill Dmitriev, Russia’s representative for investment.
This was reported by Reuters, citing informed sources.
According to the agency’s sources, Witkoff is scheduled to hold talks with Russian officials today. There are no details yet on the composition of the delegations or the topics of discussion.
Russian media also recorded the arrival of a plane that Vitkoff usually uses at Moscow’s Vnukovo Airport.
Information about a possible meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin has not been officially confirmed.
Earlier, American and international media reported on the planned visit of Trump’s special envoy to the Russian capital. Later, Donald Trump himself confirmed that Witkoff would indeed visit Moscow on August 6, where he would hold meetings with representatives of the aggressor state.
This is at least Witkoff’s fourth visit to Russia in 2025. He was last in Moscow in late April.
It should be noted that a speech by US President Donald Trump is scheduled for 11:30 p.m.
Recall, the administration of Donald Trump has warned the Kremlin: if Vladimir Putin does not agree to a ceasefire in Ukraine by August 8, the United States will impose a new package of sanctions . The list includes a strike on the “shadow fleet”, customs restrictions, secondary sanctions and other levers of economic pressure. Washington hopes for negotiations, but is preparing for decisive action.
As reported the day before, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported on a meaningful and productive telephone conversation with US President Donald Trump, the main topic of which was ending the war and strengthening defense cooperation.
Meanwhile, Russian dictator Vladimir Putin has no intention of stopping hostilities against Ukraine, despite sanctions pressure from Donald Trump . The ultimatum issued by the US expires on August 8, but Moscow shows no willingness to compromise.
