Russian presidential adviser Yury Ushakov confirmed on Tuesday that reports of Witkoff\u2019s upcoming visit were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rt.com\/russia\/616104-ushakov-witkoff-moscow-visit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">accurate<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"319\" data-end=\"475\">White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told journalists later in the day that both Trump and Witkoff <em>\u201cwanted everybody to know that the negotiations continue.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1183\" data-end=\"1385\"><em>\u201cWe feel, again, we are hopefully moving in the right direction, and the special envoy Steve Witkoff will be heading to Russia again later this week to continue talks with Vladimir Putin,\u201d<\/em> Leavitt said.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\n        <span><strong>Read more<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<figure>\n            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mf.b37mrtl.ru\/files\/2025.04\/thumbnail\/680812e320302715ac1a98a5.jpg\" alt=\"FILE PHOTO: US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio\" \/><figcaption><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rt.com\/news\/616127-rubio-witkoff-london-ukraine-talks\/\">Rubio and Witkoff to skip London Ukraine talks<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p data-start=\"1387\" data-end=\"1587\">The White House did not announce Witkoff\u2019s exact travel plans after the Financial Times reported that he would skip a meeting with European and Ukrainian officials to visit Moscow instead.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1589\" data-end=\"1867\">Washington is expected to present its peace framework in London on Wednesday, following a series of high-level meetings in Paris last week, where Witkoff and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio held discussions with French, British, German, and Ukrainian officials.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1869\" data-end=\"2128\">Rubio, however, will not attend the latest round of talks due to his <em>\u201cbusy\u201d<\/em> schedule, according to spokesperson Tammy Bruce.
