What is known?
He is convinced that negotiations to end the war are "in the final stages."
"I think we have made significant progress. At the beginning of this process, there were some misunderstandings, and I planned to travel to Moscow frequently, but I think it was important enough to go there," said Trump's special envoy.
According to him, there is "optimism" on this issue.
Negotiations with the Ukrainian delegation
Witkoff spoke about negotiations with NSDC Secretary Umerov, OP Head Budanov, and "Servant of the People" Chairman Arakhamia the previous evening.
"They are incredible, by the way. Ukrainians, you have an excellent team for negotiations here. We spent a lot of time together. And I think we agreed on one issue. Therefore, if both sides want to resolve this issue, we will do it. And I told the president (Trump. - Ed.) this yesterday," he added.
Witkoff also said that Zelenskyy is "actively working on this issue."
"He is accessible, always ready when we need to call him to get directions, we contact him," he emphasised, noting that Trump is "also always accessible."
"So, we are leaving for Moscow tonight. We are not staying there, we are going straight to Abu Dhabi. This is an important point because working groups will be operating in Abu Dhabi. Military issues, issues of prosperity," he concluded.
