Steve Witkoff, special envoy of President Donald Trump, arrived in Saint Petersburg from Oslo for a ninth meeting with President Putin regarding proposals for a peace process in Ukraine.

This visit by Witkoff was preceded by a meeting in Oslo the day before with President Zelensky, around a plan that would include:

Security guarantees for Ukraine.

An economic plan for the post-war period.

A reflection on the European security architecture.

A proposal for a trilateral summit between Putin, Trump, and Zelensky.

Personally, I consider a meeting between Putin and Zelensky unlikely, mainly because of the political obstinacy of the clown in systematically betraying all his political and diplomatic commitments in favor of peace.

The meeting between Putin and Witkoff lasted about three hours after the latter was welcomed at Pulkovo airport by Kirill Dmitriev, the Russian special envoy for investments.

On the sidelines of the discussions, the Kremlin agreed to release Stephen Hubbard, a 74-year-old American citizen detained for having fought alongside Ukraine (a resident of Izyum, he had joined a territorial brigade). Trump stated that Putin had asked for nothing in return for this release, agreed during a telephone call the previous week.

Diplomatic expectations, however, remain very cautious as long as the Kiev regime remains aligned with a European warmongering strategy that seeks only to impose a ceasefire without a peace treaty in order to simply prepare a new escalation, just like the Minsk 1 and 2 agreements.

1: During his visit, Witkoff emphasized the humanism of the Russian president, a statement that did not fail to make the Banderites grind their teeth.

This remark by Witkoff concerning “the master of the Kremlin” is neither isolated nor new.

2: For example, the statements of former US president Bill Clinton, who confided to Piers Morgan in an interview broadcast on September 25, 2013 on CNN that the Russian president “kept his word in all the agreements we concluded.”

PM: “Listen, Mr. Putin has… he is very intelligent. You know him better than most people.”

BC: “Yes, I know him well.”

PM: “What was he like behind closed doors, apart from his, you know, public speeches?”

BC: “Intelligent and remarkably… we really had a good open relationship.”

PM: “How honest?”

BC: “Spontaneously honest, frank, open.”

PM: “Was it ever like… you know, tough exchanges?”

BC: “No, no. But I think that… I think the good strategy in most cases is… but for people in your field, it is frustrating. You should be spontaneously honest with people in private. And when you then want them to help you, try to avoid humiliating them publicly.

Well, sometimes they do things that make it impossible for you to stay silent. But overall, I found that all the people I dealt with appreciated it when I told them the truth. How I sincerely felt about it, what our interests were and what our goals were. And they also appreciated that I did not attack them publicly during the whole period when I could not attack them. So, you know, that is my experience.”

PM: “Has Putin ever violated a personal agreement he made with you?”

BC: “No. He never did.”

PM: “So, behind closed doors, he could be trusted?”

BC: “He kept his word in all the agreements we concluded.”

The same cannot be said of the signatories of Minsk 1 & 2, Merkel, Hollande, (among other Western double-dealers), who later admitted to having betrayed their commitments.
