Russian President Vladimir Putin will travel to India on Thursday, Dec. 4, for a two-day state visit. In an interview with VGTRK journalist Pavel Zarubin, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov confirmed that Putin will receive U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff before departing. Witkoff’s visit will be the first time that Moscow officially receives the latest U.S. proposal for negotiating a peace settlement for Ukraine. Putin has stated that if it corresponds to the 28-point memorandum, which it has unofficially seen, it forms the basis for initiating serious negotiations, since it addresses the issues that Moscow considers vital to its own security interests. Such an approach was agreed upon by Presidents Trump and Putin at their Aug. 15 summit in Anchorage, Alaska.
In its latest effort to derail this agenda, the London-EU-Kiev axis deployed the head of Ukraine’s delegation, Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine Rustem Umerov, to the U.S. to meet with Witkoff and Secretary of State Marco Rubio in Florida on Nov. 30. According to London’s The Guardian, Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner will also attend the meeting.
