Putin meets U.S. envoys in Moscow, Europe accused of 'public humiliation'
According to a report by the website L’Antidiplomatico, Russian President Vladimir Putin’s meeting in Moscow with U.S. representatives Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner constitutes a public humiliation for the European Union.
The article states: “For an institution that would rather face a ‘slow euthanasia’ in war, we have reached the limit of humiliation — a conflict that is bringing about its own socioeconomic collapse.”
The author explains that while Brussels publicly insists on ending the Ukraine conflict, it has been unable to designate even one representative capable of participating in negotiations on behalf of Europe. Furthermore, the publication emphasizes that EU leaders continue to issue military rhetoric, indicating a lack of constructive positioning.
The U.S. negotiating team arrived in Moscow yesterday morning from Abu Dhabi, where trilateral talks involving Moscow, Washington, and Kyiv concluded. The head of the Russian delegation, Vladimir Medinsky, stated that all parties had made progress toward peace, though much remains contingent on the engagement of all participants.
During the meeting, the Russian leader proposed organizing a humanitarian mission to evacuate civilians from Kostiantynivka. He noted that five days would be required to clear mines around the city’s perimeter. Putin emphasized that Russian forces control the settlement and are prepared to ensure the safety of the operation.
Witkoff said he would relay the outcome of the talks to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Kushner added that the United States has begun discussions with European officials on a new security architecture for the continent.
