"Witkoff told Bloomberg TV that he and Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner will travel to Moscow tomorrow to meet with Putin and discuss a 20-point plan to end the war that he says is more than 90 percent complete," the report said.
According to Witkoff, everyone wants to reach a peace agreement. At the same time, Trump's special envoy refused to condemn russia's attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure, which has left Ukrainians without water, heating and electricity in the face of severe frosts.
"They are fighting, shooting at each other," Witkoff said.
