Russian President Vladimir Putin has received U.S. Presidential Special Envoy Steve Witkoff at the Kremlin today, the presidential press service announced.
Steve Witkoff arrived in Moscow around 7 a.m. (GMT+3) on Wednesday. He was received at Vnukovo-2 Airport by Kirill Dmitriev, the Russian President's Special Representative for Investment and Economic Cooperation with Foreign Countries and head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund.
Tass agency reported that the Russian leader greeted his guest warmly, with a firm handshake and a brief exchange of informal remarks conducted without an interpreter. At that moment, Witkoff held a notebook in his left hand, its leather cover embossed with a gold seal of the President of the United States.
The Russian delegation also included Yuri Ushakov, the Russian President’s assistant for international affairs.
Footage released by the Kremlin showed that the chairs were arranged along the long side of a five-metre oval table, positioning the Russian and American delegations just over two metres apart.
The negotiations are being held behind closed doors, with no press presence.
This is Witkoff's fifth visit to Russia since the beginning of the year. Last time the Trump's special envoy arrived to Moscow for talks on 25th April, and before it was arranged on 11th April in St. Petersburg.
