Visit of Vittkoff and Kushner to Moscow
As UNIAN previously reported, 5 September the American president’s envoys Vittkoff and Kushner arrived in Moscow for talks on Ukraine. At the airport they were met by Putin's special envoy Kirill Dmitriev.
After the talks, the Kremlin called Putin's position on Ukraine "unshakeable." As Putin’s aide Yuri Ushakov explained, the U.S. special representatives "presented a number of ideas for possible settlement paths." Putin, in turn, told them that Russia allegedly has "real progress" on the battlefield and is confident in achieving its goals.
According to Axios, Vittkoff and Kushner did not come alone to Moscow — acting U.S. Deputy Secretary of the Treasury in charge of sanctions Jean Lange was with them. As journalist Barak Ravid stated, Lange’s involvement indicates that American sanctions against the Russian Federation were part of the discussions.
