Agostinho Costa says there is no reason to be afraid: "Putin has no interest in attacking Trump's delegation"

Agostinho Costa stated that there is no reason for the delegation of Donald Trump to be afraid, considering that Vladimir Putin has no interest in attacking the American envoys. The military affairs specialist commented thus on the planned trip of Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner to Moscow and Kiev.

The two envoys of Donald Trump are expected to visit Moscow and Kiev during this weekend to present a new American proposal for peace in Ukraine. This is an initiative by the Trump administration to try to advance a negotiating process between Russians and Ukrainians.

Washington seeks to reopen a negotiating channel between Russians and Ukrainians, at a time when the divergences between the parties remain deep. The main outstanding issues relate to the territorial question and the security guarantees that each side demands for a possible peace agreement.
