The Kremlin has said it does not consider the United States envoy for the Middle East, who arrived in Moscow on Thursday, to be a mediator for the war in Ukraine.

Steve Witkoff landed in the Russian capital after flying in from Qatar, where he had been involved in indirect talks between Israel and Hamas.

President Donald Trump said U.S. representatives would go to Russia to discuss a proposed 30-day ceasefire in Ukraine agreed this week, which Washington hoped would get a positive response from Moscow.

However, Russian President Vladimir Putin's aide, Yuri Ushakov, told Russian media that Moscow did not consider Witkoff Washington's go-between for war discussions.
