According to Politico, a meeting will take place this weekend in Miami between Russian special envoy Kirill Dmitriev and American presidential envoys Steve Withhof and Jared Kushner. Previously, Withhof and Kushner held talks in Moscow with President Putin and later met with Ukrainian President Zelensky and European leaders.
The main goal of this new round of talks is to inform Russia about agreements reached with Kyiv and European capitals. However, there are doubts about Moscow’s genuine interest in the outcomes, since Dmitriev acts more as a messenger to Putin and has no authority to make key decisions.
The author emphasizes that such talks can serve as a delaying tactic for Russia and create an illusion of a peace process for Donald Trump. Increasing sanctions on Russia or supplying Ukraine with strategic weapons remain pressing means to influence Russia. For now, however, these consultations have not led to concrete changes, while hostilities and attacks by Russian forces continue.
The commentary concludes that real negotiation progress is only possible when decisions are taken by top leaders, not by envoys lacking genuine political weight. The current contacts appear to aim more at satisfying the "clients"—Trump for the Americans, Putin for the Russians—rather than achieving a real peace for Ukraine.
The article ends by calling on supporters to stay informed by following the channel and the author’s social networks.
