BREITBART – The Russian government confirmed the arrival of Donald Trump’s Middle East Envoy Steve Witkoff at Vnukovo International Airport on Friday where he is to have more meetings with Russian leaders, including President Vladimir Putin, as part of the ongoing rapprochement process.
Just hours before Witkoff landed, however, a Moscow suburb was rocked by an explosion which killed a Kremlin General. While no responsibility for the blast has been claimed, some Western outlets have stated the apparent attack has the hallmarks of a Kyiv-led assassination operation, several of which have been seen against Russian and pro-Kremlin Ukrainian citizens recent years.
Russian state media said before his planned meeting with President Putin, America’s Witkoff met with Kirill Dmitriev, and the two “took a short walk around the center of the Russian capital”. Harvard-educated Dmitriev is the leader of Russia’s sovereign wealth fund and has had a prominent role in re-establishing links between the two nations, and despite having war-related sanctions against him recently visited Washington D.C. for talks.
