Trump's Special Supervisor Stephen Whitkoff flew to Russia again

It is expected that he will meet with Putin - Axios

Special Supervisor of US President Donald Trump Steve Whitkoff goes to Russia to meet with Vladimir Putin, reports Axios with reference to sources.

According to the ADSBEXCHANGE aircraft tracking service, its business jet (Gulfstream G650R with the N103WG onboard number) is now in St. Petersburg. On the same plane, Whitkoff flew to Russia for the first meeting with Putin in early February.

This is the third meeting of Whitkoff with Putin.

Axios does not give more detailed details, but notes that Trump is disappointed with a lack of progress in negotiations in the war in Ukraine, and even stated that Putin's comments on Ukraine were “enraged”.

If by the end of the month a truce is not achieved, Trump can impose additional sanctions against Russia, says Axios source.

On the eve of Russia and the United States held another exchange of prisoners. Moscow liberated the Russian Federation and the USA Ksenia Karelin, sentenced to 12 years in a colony for the donation of a Ukrainian charitable organization, and Washington, a citizen of the Russian Federation and Germany, Arthur Petrov, arrested in the case of the smuggling of Western microelectronics to Russia.

The liberation of Karelina Witkoff discussed at a meeting with Putin last month, Axios writes with reference to sources.

“Whitkoff told Putin to free Karelin as a sign of goodwill between the countries,” said the interlocutor of the publication.

Reuters writes about this, although he claims that Whitkoff discussed Keis Karelina with Putin on the phone last week.
