Russian Presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov assured reporters today that Kirill Dmitriev, presidential envoy and head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund, has briefed President Putin on his Dec. 20-21 discussions in Miami with President Trump’s Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, son-in-law Jared Kushner, and White House official Josh Gruenbaum on terms for resolving the Ukraine conflict. It is now up to “our head of state to formulate our further positions and continue our contacts through the available channels as soon as possible.”
Peskov was firm, however, that Russia would not be releasing specifics, as is Russia’s policy, since “communicating through the mass media is inadvisable” if negotiations are to prove successful. He also refused to confirm or deny media reports that Dmitriev had brought back four draft proposals resulting from the talks, RT reported.
Meanwhile, British-NATO puppet and acting President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky continues his policy of negotiating through the media. Western NATO-aligned Establishment media are playing up Zelensky’s contention that the U.S. and Ukraine have by-and-large agreed on a 20-point peace plan, with a few key details left to be decided in a trilateral meeting between himself and Presidents Trump and Putin. He is reported to have briefed reporters on Tuesday, with the proviso that the contents of his briefing would be embargoed until this morning. Zelensky, who has repeatedly proven to be an unreliable source, asserted that this is the plan U.S. negotiators have presented to the Russians, and Moscow was expected to respond today.
