Putin meets with Trump’s envoy, delivers message: Kremlin
Steve Witkoff arrived in Moscow to inform the Russian president of a joint statement signed between the US and Ukraine in Saudi Arabia.
In this agreement, Ukraine agreed to a 30-day ceasefire with Russia, while the US announced the resumption of military aid and intelligence sharing with Kiev.
The document did not mention sanctions on Russia or security guarantees for Ukraine, but it did state that Ukraine’s European allies would be “involved in the peace process.”
On Friday, the Russian spokesman briefed journalists, stating that the Russian head of state gave Witkoff “information and additional signals for President Trump.”
Putin expressed his “absolute support” for the idea of resolving the conflict with Ukraine peacefully, citing his willingness to discuss Trump’s ceasefire proposal.
The Russian president suggested that dialogue could include a personal conversation with the US leader.
“There are issues that we need to discuss, and I think that we need to talk about them with our American colleagues and partners, and, perhaps, have a call with President Trump to discuss them,” Putin said.
In addition to emphasizing the need to clarify all ceasefire details, Putin stressed that Moscow is not interested in a short-term solution but rather desires a lasting resolution to the conflict.
The Russian president cited the need for a system of “control and verification” to monitor any peace deal.
“We believe that this cessation should lead to long-term peace and eliminate the original causes of this crisis,” he stated.
“Who will give orders to stop hostilities? … Who will determine where and who has violated a possible ceasefire agreement across 2,000 kilometers (1,243 miles)?”
Furthermore, he suggested the fact that a 30-day ceasefire could be used by Ukraine for rearmament.
“Russian troops are advancing in almost all areas of the front… So how will these 30 days be used? For forced mobilization to continue in Ukraine, for weapons to be delivered there, for the newly mobilized units to be trained? … How can we, and how will we, be guaranteed that nothing like that will happen? How will control be organized?” he asked.
Witkoff had traveled to Russia last month to negotiate a prisoner exchange.
On Thursday, US President Donald Trump said that Putin had released “a very promising statement, but it wasn’t complete.”
Also on Thursday, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said that Trump is “willing to apply maximum pressure on both sides,” including sanctions on Russia.
Since the outbreak of the conflict in February 2022, the US and its allies have imposed at least 21,692 sanctions on Russia, targeting individuals, media organizations, the military sector, energy sector, aviation, shipbuilding, telecommunications, and other industries.

US, Israel seeking to displace Palestinians from Gaza to East Africa: AP
Friday’s report said officials from Sudan claimed to have rejected overtures from the US, while officials from Somalia and Somaliland told AP they were unaware of any contacts.
Speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss a secret diplomatic initiative, US and Israeli officials confirmed the contacts with Somalia and Somaliland, while the US officials confirmed Sudan as well. They added it was unclear how much progress the efforts made or at what level the discussions took place.
The development comes more than a month after US President Donald Trump floated the idea of forcibly displacing Palestinians and “taking over” the Gaza Strip. It was roundly rejected by Palestinians and countries in the Middle East, with many describing it as ethnic cleansing.
Separate outreach from the US and Israel to the three potential destinations began last month, days after Trump floated the Gaza plan alongside Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, according to the US officials, who said Israel was taking the lead in the discussions.
There was no immediate reaction to the report from the US or Israel.
But Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, a longtime advocate of what he calls “voluntary” emigration of Palestinians, stated this week that Israel is working to identify countries to take them in. He also added Israel is preparing a “very large emigration department” within its Ministry of Defense.
In exchange for accepting resettled Palestinians, it is thought that a variety of incentives – financial, diplomatic and security – would be offered to the East African governments.
A US official involved in the efforts confirmed to AP that the US was “having a quiet conversation with Somaliland about a range of areas where they can be helpful to the US in exchange for recognition”.
The US could offer the breakaway region of more than 3 million people international recognition, which is a priority for Somaliland’s new President, Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi.
Abdirahman Dahir Adan, Somaliland’s Foreign Minister, told the Reuters news agency denied the breakaway region’s authorities having received a proposal.
“I haven’t received such a proposal, and there are no talks with anyone regarding Palestinians,” he added.
It is difficult to understand why Somalia would want to host Palestinians given the country’s strong support for Palestinian self-rule, Sambu Chepkorir, a lawyer and conflict researcher in Nairobi, told AP.
“The realignments keep changing, and so maybe there is a hidden agenda in why Somalia,” Chepkorir said.
Two Sudanese officials, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive diplomatic matter, confirmed the Trump administration has approached the military-led government about accepting Palestinians.
One said the contacts began even before Trump’s inauguration, with offers of military assistance against the RSF paramilitary group, assistance with postwar reconstruction and other incentives.
Both officials stated the Sudanese government rejected the idea.
“This suggestion was immediately rebuffed,” one official noted, adding, “No one opened this matter again.”
