US negotiators have arrived in Russia to present their plan for a 30-day ceasefire in the fighting between Russia and Ukraine
Special Envoy of the President Donald Trump Steve Witkoff traveled to Moscow to present the US plan for a 30-day ceasefire in the fighting between Russia and Ukraine, reports Voice of America.
Russian news agencies reported Thursday (March 13) that President Donald Trump's Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff has arrived in Moscow and is working to end the war between Russia and Ukraine.
"Negotiators have arrived and meetings are planned," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said Russia is ready to talk to the United States about the peace initiative discussed by the US and Ukraine, Reuters reports.
The aide to the Russian president, Yuri Ushakov, said that the previous day he spoke by phone with US national security adviser Mike Waltz and conveyed to him Russia's position on the US ceasefire proposal.
White House press secretary Carolyn Leavitt confirmed the conversation between Volz and Ushakov. She did not rule out the possibility that President Trump will invite Vladimir Putin, Voice of America reports.
Prior to this, US-Ukrainian talks were held in Saudi Arabia, during which Kiev agreed to the US proposal on a ceasefire, but Moscow asked Washington to provide details of the agreement.
A joint statement following talks between Ukrainian and US delegations in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday (March 11th) said Ukraine supports a US proposal for a 30-day ceasefire with Russia, with the US agreeing to lift restrictions on military aid and intelligence sharing.
After talks in the Red Sea city of Jeddah, the two sides also agreed to conclude, as soon as possible, an agreement on Ukraine's mineral resources, the statement said.
"Respite" for the Ukrainian army
On Thursday, Ushakov criticized the American-Ukrainian proposal for a cease-fire, saying that it would only be a "respite" for the Ukrainian army.
"This will be nothing more than a temporary respite for the Ukrainian army, nothing more." It seems to me that in this situation no one needs steps that imitate peaceful actions," Ushakov told state media after talking to Volz.
Ukraine has asked its European allies to station military contingents on their territory after the end of the conflict in order to protect against future Russian attacks. France and Great Britain offered to deploy peacekeeping forces.
Trump expressed optimism that US negotiators will be able to broker a ceasefire, despite Kiev and Moscow carrying out almost daily airstrikes.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio said after talks with Ukraine in Jeddah that the United States will immediately resume military aid and intelligence sharing with Ukraine.
