"we are at the end now. I'm actually optimistic."
"I think we've got it down to one issue, and we have discussed iterations of that issue, and that means it's solvable. So, if both sides want to solve this, we're going to get it solved,"
"What happens is, oftentimes we'll have a deal with Russia, Russia's set, and President Zelenskyy will not do it. You saw that when he was in the Oval Office. I was not happy. And then, we'll have President Zelenskyy wants to make a deal and [Russian President Vladimir] Putin doesn't want to make a deal,"
US special envoy Steve Witkoff expressed optimism that Ukraine peace negotiations are near conclusion and described the talks as reduced to one solvable issue. Witkoff planned to travel to Moscow after meetings in Davos where US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy were due to meet. Trump offered a contrasting view, saying deals often falter when one side or the other refuses to agree. Ukraine's Davos delegation, led by Rustem Umerov, held meetings on economic development, post-war recovery and security guarantees. Recent talks in Miami reportedly included discussion of up to $800 billion in economic assistance. Russian missile and drone strikes have heavily targeted Ukrainian energy infrastructure, leaving up to one million people without light and heat in sub-zero temperatures.
