US Presidential Special Envoy Stiv Vitkoff often quotes Russian initiatives. This will not bring peace closer, but also weaken the grip of the Americans on the Russian Federation.
The President of Ukraine Volodymyr stated this, informing RBC-Ukraine that it has sent orders to broadcast “Suspilny”.
“I respect that Vitkoff, effectively, even often quotes Kremlin narratives. I respect that this will not bring us closer to peace. And I respect that, unfortunately, it will ease the pressure of the Americans on the Russian Federation.

Zelensky noted that he had met with US President Donald Trump more than once, and they exchanged real information on equal terms with intelligence services, leading to Vitkoff’s statement “we are already respected.”
“Because we are fighting with (Russian dictator Volodymyr Putin – ed.) and we don’t even want him to have a lot of lieutenants,” the head of state explained.
The President said that if the United States was in the middle, then it would be the same, but not closer to the Kremlin.
“I have always told Trump that we want the Americans to be on our side. And today America has adopted the tactic of being in the middle, then in the middle – in the middle, and not closer to the Kremlin,” Zelensky summed up.
Okrema Zelensky’s reaction to Vitkoff’s statement
It is likely that Zelensky also explicitly noted with journalists that Vitkoff’s statements about the so-called “referendums” of Russia in the occupied territories of Ukraine coincide with the Kremlin’s messages.

“We all know that there were no real legislators to hold referendums. Otherwise, no one can be legitimized by referendums, because the stink was at the gunpoint of an evil spirit. Third, the souls are still dead everyone knows that there were no legal referendums and no one in the world knows them,” Zelensky responded at the meeting.
