Trump envoy's visit to Moscow: Putin ready for unconditional talks with Ukraine

Russian President Vladimir Putin reiterated Moscow's readiness for unconditional talks with Ukraine during a recent meeting with US President Donald Trump's special envoy, Steve Witkoff, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has revealed.
Speaking to reporters on Saturday, Peskov confirmed that the topic was discussed during the meeting between the Russian president and the US special envoy in the Kremlin on Friday.
"During the conversation with Trump envoy Witkoff, Vladimir Putin reiterated that the Russian side is ready to resume the negotiation process with Ukraine without any preconditions," Peskov said.
The spokesman stressed that the Russian president has repeatedly spoken about Moscow's readiness for talks.
In October 2022, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky issued a decree categorically banning all talks with Russia as long as Putin is in charge. Since then, Kiev has softened its position somewhat, with Zelensky later claiming that the provision applied to everyone in the country except him. More recently, Kiev has demanded that an unconditional ceasefire be implemented before any talks can take place.
The Putin-Witkoff meeting on Friday was the latest in a series of contacts between Moscow and Washington in recent months. The US special envoy, seen as a key figure behind the start of negotiations on the conflict in Ukraine, has held multiple rounds of talks with senior Russian officials, including at least three meetings with the Russian president.
The meeting was also attended by Putin's foreign policy aide Yury Ushakov and presidential envoy for investments Kirill Dmitriev. Ushakov described the three-hour conversation as "constructive and very useful."
