"We have seen these two characters in so many circumstances and nothing came of it"

CNN Portugal5 September 2026 at 15:32

Lieutenant-General Rafael Martins, commentator for CNN Portugal, commented on the expectations surrounding the visits of Donald Trump's envoys to Moscow and Kiev, in an attempt to end the war. Martins expressed skepticism regarding the outcome of these diplomatic missions.

The commentator referred to the two special envoys, stating that he had already seen them involved in various similar circumstances without anything concrete resulting from those previous diplomatic initiatives.

Martins' assessment comes in the context of recent negotiation attempts for a peace agreement, with special envoys being sent to both Russia and Ukraine as part of ongoing diplomatic efforts.

The military commentator's remark reflects a cautious perspective on the likelihood of success of these initiatives, considering the history of previous attempts that did not achieve significant results.
