Face-To-Face: Putin Meets Witkoff Amid Trump’s Ultimatum. What’s Next For Ukraine?

On August 6, 2025, in Moscow, President Vladimir Putin met with U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff for the fifth round of talks between Russia and the United States. The meeting came under the shadow of President Donald Trump’s growing pressure, with a looming deadline for resolving the Ukrainian crisis. Witkoff’s mission was clear: secure a ceasefire from Russia by August 8, or face new U.S. sanctions targeting Russia and its trade partners.

Main Discussion Points: Ukraine and Strategic Cooperation

According to Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov, the meeting lasted three hours and focused on two key issues: the ongoing crisis in Ukraine and the potential for future strategic cooperation between the U.S. and Russia. Ushakov described the discussions as “constructive,” with both sides exchanging “signals.” However, as is often the case in such high-stakes diplomacy, the specifics were kept behind closed doors. Ushakov indicated that further details could be disclosed once Witkoff reports back to President Trump, keeping the world guessing about the true intentions of both parties. These moves could play a significant role in shaping the future trajectory of the conflict.

Witkoff in Moscow: From the Restaurant to the Kremlin

Witkoff arrived in Moscow early on August 6. Notably, this visit saw Moscow’s skies free of Ukrainian drone attacks overnight—a rare calm amidst the usual chaos. At Vnukovo airport, Witkoff was greeted by Kirill Dmitriev, the head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF). Afterward, the two diplomats spent time at a restaurant in the “Zaryadye” park—an impressive green space near the Kremlin designed by an American architectural firm. Witkoff ordered a “La Grande” cheburek (a traditional deep-fried pastry filled with meat, typically served in Russia), which comes with disposable gloves to avoid getting greasy. After their meal, they took a stroll through the park and visited a viewing platform that offers idyllic views of the Kremlin framed by white birch trees.

It’s worth noting that during his previous visit, Witkoff, in a similar company, had taken a walk through Moscow’s famed Arbat street, continuing to build personal connections in a less formal setting.

China’s Position: “The Final Stage” of Negotiations

Meanwhile, China has also been actively involved in the peace process. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi declared that the “final stage” of negotiations for peace in Ukraine has begun, further emphasizing the importance of international mediation efforts. China is positioning itself as a key player in facilitating a peaceful resolution, seeking to exert influence on both Russia and Ukraine. However, whether these efforts will succeed remains uncertain and dependent on the willingness of both sides to engage in meaningful dialogue.

Air Truce with Ukraine: A Gesture of Goodwill?

According to Bloomberg, Russia is considering offering the U.S. a limited air truce with Ukraine to alleviate pressure ahead of Trump’s August 8 deadline. This proposal would involve halting airstrikes, including drone and missile attacks on Ukrainian cities, which could be seen as a step toward de-escalation. However, it is important to note that this offer does not include a full ceasefire, and the conflict would not be considered resolved. The final agreement has yet to be reached, and Ukraine has not officially responded to this proposal.

The Bottom Line

Witkoff’s plane left Russia shortly after the talks, and now all eyes are on the August 8 deadline. This day could mark a critical turning point in the Ukraine conflict, with the U.S. prepared to shift from threats to real actions. The confiscation of Russian assets would be an unprecedented step in international relations, and the imposition of 100% tariffs could destabilize the global economy.

In the coming days, it will become clear whether President Trump is willing to take this radical step, which could trigger further escalation, or if we will witness new attempts at diplomatic resolution. Witkoff’s visit to Moscow may prove to be the last chance for both sides to avoid a global economic war and preserve even a small window of opportunity for a peaceful resolution to the conflict.

you mean that khazars, and khazaria should not exist at all. but christians have only adopt the call for genocide and baskets with dicks in the bible, not the logical in wipe any biblical entity of the surface, as soon it starts its lebensraum project. instead, russia are so loving, that it fuck the nazis, and can not tell the truth about “nine eleven”, or mass murder in the hospitals. if only iran finish the job !

the russian gang is ashamed of the russian kazar gang because putler betrayed syria.

i think there are a comment in “allo, allo emliga arme’n” to this 😂 its something which are unclear even to rené himself.

Vanya

the only thing the russians seemed to want from syria was to use the bases so they could go to africa and give the africas all sorts of “free stuff”

unfortunately for the russians those bases probably will still be allowed to be used for stupid stunts like that.

given the past bioterror involvement of neocons and other psychopathic lunatics in dc, and the potential of engineered and specific pathogens now and in near future, together with the recent increasingly insane provocations this exact crowd is driving, this seems like a significant risk to take for just some pr type publicly broadcast meeting.

yes, the real opportunity are to take down “us”, “un” and the politician parasites. if the world are ruled by a centralized “un”, how is that multipolar ? it sounds more like the new world order. order are a german project. any action against genocide are vetoed.

yes, and now adolf trump try to get the kill prize from the norwegian child killing committee, else he nukes russia 😂 one swedish technician with relatives in the nuclear industry says “nukes” do not work. any more ? seems very probably, since they are based on imported nazis, and a tremendous hate against ussr, and a very strange “pascifist”, einstein, with a “theory” that demands two clocks to both go slower than the other at the same instant.

in america the people were promised a swift end to this conflict , yet us supplies and support continue to arrive in ukraine . i do not konw if witkoff is allowed any ability to bring real peace

yes, but that was after they send trick movies in “nine eleven”. as longer they can drag out on the war, and as much ukrainans they can kill, as more earns they. its simple a form of cannibalism, ongoing since they financed adolf hitler rothschild, and then occupied europe. but the european tribes trust them, as the indians 😂

BigFatMac

during the kleptomania meeting vladolf sat discontent he didn’t manage to steal more, boy fanclub russian nazis was also sad and complaining vladolf couldn’t steal more. how will they now get potatoes to eat if not stolen? they are blaming zelensky for not handing over potatoes and letting him be raped by nazi trannys.

Yes

this is simply an attempt to give ukraine a ceasefire so that it can then rearm and continue fighting against russia. this is the u.s plan to freeze the conflict in ukraine without a peace agreement, so that the war can be resumed at any time.

this meeting didn’t just happen… the bis will be eyeballing a huge american bill in the next week (the largest portion of that debt being the ukraine conflict the american taxpayer has been paying since 2010) and trumpilstilskin is going to need to bring the knee pads when he comes to moscow to chat -this time around.

if poutine truly want results he will no t negotiate at all -calling the meeting off and allowing the american and eu economies to self-destruct through there massive debts. to facilitate any negotiations in the violations already seen with the minsk agreements,

the destruction of the eastern donbas and it’s russian family.. kursk and all of the property destroyed or damaged + the $400 billion of frozen assets in western banks… if poutine fails to finish the job for his military he is the biggest traitor and coward. in fact… he needs to cut off all trade with the west and exclusively deal with the briics.

you forget germans, the first occupation force to be sent from nazi germany before the war. you have to understand that it was enough the lunatics had read the bible, then they was as good nazis as the germans, or the “americans”. the jesuits terrorize all of europe. i thought judaism originated from egypt, and that the christians not find up walking cadavers by them self.
