Wasserman: Why Witkoff and Kushner Really Visited Moscow

news.rambler.ru (Russian)

Trump's special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner met with Vladimir Putin in the Kremlin for three hours to discuss potential solutions to the Ukraine conflict, with the talks described as substantive and trusting. Russian pundit Anatoly Wasserman claims the visit was not primarily about Ukraine but about the upcoming US elections, which he says are unfavorable for Republicans. He suggests Trump needs a visible success, and Ukraine is the only viable option given the situation on the Iranian front. Wasserman also argues Russia benefits from Republican strength in Congress, as Democrats allegedly lack common sense, and approves of keeping the talks behind closed doors to prevent propaganda from distorting details.
