Steve Witkoff, US President Donald Trumps Special Envoy to the Middle East, has stated that the US side has come very close to reaching a peace agreement regarding Russias war against Ukraine.
Source European Pravda, citing Voice of America Details Witkoff did not specify the conditions of the potential deal but emphasised that in any peace agreement, each side is going to make concessions, whether territorial or economic.
Quote You will see concessions from both sides.
And thats what the president does best.
He brings people together.
He gets them to understand that the pathway to peace is concessions and consensus building.
And I think youre going to see a very successful result here. More details Witkoff added that the Istanbul protocol agreement could serve as a guideline for reaching a peace deal between Ukraine and Russia.
We came very, very close to signing something, he asserted.
Background Polish President Andrzej Duda stated after meeting with Trump that Ukraine will not survive this war without American support and that we have to end this war somehow.
Trump himself, in an interview with Fox News, expressed doubts about whether Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyys involvement in peace talks is important.
On 18 February, senior officials from Russia and the US met in Saudi Arabia without Ukraines involvement.
During the meeting, both sides agreed to remove irritants in their bilateral relations and continue working towards preparing for negotiations on Russias war against Ukraine.
