Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov stated that American negotiators Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are consistently welcome guests in Moscow and desirable interlocutors for President Vladimir Putin. This remark follows recent reports regarding potential back-channel discussions between the U.S. and Russia. Peskov did not elaborate on the specifics of any potential current or future talks, but emphasized the consistent willingness to engage with both individuals. The statement suggests a continued openness from the Russian side to dialogue with figures close to former President Trump. It also hints at the importance Moscow places on maintaining communication channels with influential American personalities despite ongoing geopolitical tensions. This comes amidst heightened international scrutiny regarding Russia’s actions in Ukraine and broader relations with the West.
