Witkoff Arrives in St. Petersburg for Putin Talks as US and Ukraine Agree on Peace Proposals
US envoy Witkoff arrived in St. Petersburg on Oct. 21 for talks with Putin on ending Russia’s war against Ukraine. The meeting follows Witkoff’s discussions with Zelensky in Norway, where Kyiv and Washington agreed on peace proposals, including security guarantees.
On Wednesday, Oct. 21, US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff arrived in St. Petersburg, Russia, ahead of discussions with President Vladimir Putin to end Russia's war against Ukraine. Accompanying Witkoff was Kirill Dmitriev, Putin's special representative for investment and economic cooperation with foreign countries. The event follows the Ukrainian and US agreement on peace proposals, which include security guarantees for Kyiv.
Intelligence sharing with the US has also resumed, with progress on Patriot interceptors and Starlink restrictions potentially coming within 48 hours. However, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has ruled out political concessions, signaling limits to the discussions. Witkoff's visit is his first to Russia since Sept. 5, when he held talks with Putin and senior Russian officials in Moscow.
