Bloomberg reported the information, citing sources.
According to the agency’s sources, during negotiations at the Kremlin on April 25, Witkoff tried to convince Putin to cease fire and hostilities along the present front line.
However, the Russian dictator maintained a maximalist position regarding Ukrainian territories, specifically insisting that the Zaporizhzhia, Kherson, Donetsk, and Luhansk regions must be fully under Moscow’s control.
A Bloomberg source added that negotiations have now reached a deadlock, requiring a direct conversation between Donald Trump and Putin to achieve further progress.
- On Friday, April 25, a three-hour meeting took place in Moscow between Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin and U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff. The Russian dictator confirmed that Russia is allegedly ready for negotiations with Ukraine without preconditions.
