The Russian Telegram channel “Nezygar,” citing a “diplomatic source,” described the Kremlin’s alleged position regarding the Ukraine negotiations and the visit by US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner:

“Time has run out, the position has hardened, and the configuration is now completely different – Russia is making efforts to begin actively advancing along the front line and intensify strikes against Ukraine’s strategic infrastructure during the winter period.”

The Kremlin believes: “Ukraine and the West will effectively have to request negotiations with Russia themselves, against the backdrop of the catastrophe Ukraine will face in early 2027; given Ukrainian strikes on Russian infrastructure and threats to close Russian airspace, Russia no longer considers it necessary to make any concessions now.”

“While Witkoff and Kushner were dealing with Middle Eastern issues, the situation on the Ukraine track changed completely. Witkoff and Kushner returned too late.”

“If Moscow has a message for Zelenskyy, it is just one: surrender.”
According to the channel, this is the message Kushner and Witkoff are supposed to convey in Kyiv.

According to this “diplomatic source,” “Putin has returned to the full package of Russian demands and stated that a ceasefire is impossible, noting that Zelenskyy made the right move by unilaterally halting hostilities during Kushner and Witkoff’s visit. According to Putin, this is the right example of what Zelenskyy should do: all concessions must come from Ukraine.”

“The Kremlin now believes that Washington must demonstrate practical steps – lifting or easing sanctions against Russia.”

According to a source cited by “Nezygar,” Russia will consider the possibility of holding either a trilateral Trump-Xi-Putin meeting or a full-fledged Trump-Putin meeting on the sidelines of the G20; however, the initiative must come from Washington, not Moscow.

“Putin believes that Russia has greater mobilization potential than Ukraine and is using it to achieve the objectives of the conflict.”Anton Gerashchenko (@Gerashchenko_en)Putin’s aide Ushakov commented on the meeting of US envoys with Putin.

According to him, Putin told the envoys that Russia was advancing on the frontlines, was certain to reach the goals of the “special military operation” and the “Kyiv regime” was Nazist.

Ushakov said that the envoys promised to use the assessments received from Putin in their conversations with Kyiv tomorrow.
