Putin Meets Trump Envoy as Ukraine Peace Deadline Looms
RUSSIA, AUG 6 – Special Envoy Steve Witkoff held talks with Vladimir Putin in Moscow ahead of the August 8 ceasefire deadline as Trump threatens secondary sanctions on Russia’s trade partners.
- Wednesday, special envoy Steve Witkoff met Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow for three hours of talks, with just days left before Trump’s cease-fire deadline on Aug. 8.
- In July, President Donald Trump gave the Kremlin 50 days to end the conflict, later shortening the timeline to this Friday, August 8th, and last week ordered two American nuclear submarines to reposition.
- With direct tariffs having limited impact, Trump warned that secondary tariffs targeting Russia’s trade partners would be felt in Moscow if it fails to comply.
- According to Ushakov, the session generated useful dialogue, and Moscow received ‘signals’ from Witkoff about Washington’s position, sending messages back to Trump.
