Kremlin Eyes Kushner and Witkoff for Renewed Ukraine Peace Talks

Dmitry Peskov, the Kremlin spokesman, publicly lauded the pair’s previous diplomatic contributions as highly constructive. Moscow remains keen to leverage their track record of balanced deliberations, particularly as friction intensifies over long-standing, unaddressed agreements between Washington and Moscow.

Deep-seated frustrations persist over the stalled 'Spirit of Anchorage' dialogue. Russian officials maintain that previous discussions hinted at a potential withdrawal of troops from the Donbas region. Kyiv continues to reject such interpretations, asserting that any movement on the battlefield will only occur if they are compelled to the negotiating table by force.
