The situation faced by Europe is different from The Second World War, and Russian President Vladimir Putin does not want to expand the fighting to the entire region. This was stated by the US president's special envoy to the Middle East, The Guardian reports.
According to Witkoff, quoted by Reuters, Putin does not want to "seize the whole of Europe" and this is "a completely different situation" than during the Second World War.
The Special Envoy also said that he expects "much more progress" in the negotiations, which are due to take place tonight in Saudi Arabia.
"A meeting between US officials and Ukraine on Sunday evening will be held before a similar meeting between the United States and Russia on Monday. The Ukrainian delegation at Sunday's meeting will be headed by Defense Minister Rustem Umerov, Reuters reports. It is expected that the negotiations will be "purely technical," the British newspaper writes.
It is noted that on Saturday Witkoff told American journalist Tucker Carlson that the plan of British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and other European leaders to create an international force in support of the ceasefire is a "pose and posturing."
