247 - In a meeting held this Wednesday (6) in the Kremlin, the president of Russia, Vladimir Putin, and the special envoy of the United States, Steve Witkoff, exchanged"signals" about the war in Ukraine, as revealed by the Kremlin advisor, Yury Ushakov.

The information was published by the RT news agency, highlighting the confidential nature of the meeting and Witkoff's role as a direct representative of US President Donald Trump, who is serving his second term.

According to Ushakov, the conversation lasted nearly three hours and covered a variety of topics, including bilateral relations between Moscow and Washington, as well as possible avenues for strategic cooperation."They had a very useful and constructive conversation," the advisor said, noting that"some signals were sent on the Ukrainian issue" by Putin, and that"corresponding signals were also received from President Trump."

Witkoff, who has made frequent trips to Russia since taking office as special envoy, arrived in Moscow for a diplomatic mission that Trump described as crucial. According to Ushakov, details of the conversation were not disclosed because the US president"has not yet been informed of the results of the meeting." "We'll see when Witkoff can report to Trump on today's conversation. After that, obviously, we can supplement my comments with something more substantial," he concluded.
