Witkoff described the meetings as productive and highlighted discussions on developing former President Donald Trump&#8217;s peace proposal,security guarantees,and economic recovery plans. However, Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov expressed skepticism about accepting Trump&#8217;s peace proposal, especially because of modifications made by Ukraine and European partners. Ushakov stated that Moscow will carefully review the proposals and decide what can be accepted or rejected as they formulate their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/jim-jordan-shares-potential-timeline-for-bringing-impeachment-articles-against-biden\/\" title=\"Jim Jordan outlines timeline for Biden impeachment articles\">position moving forward<\/a>.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Witkoff maintains Russia &lsquo;fully committed&rsquo; to peace talks as Kremlin signals otherwise<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2450585\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Middle East special envoy <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/steve-witkoff\">Steve Witkoff<\/a> assured key partners in the peace talks to end the Ukraine war that Russia is &ldquo;fully committed to peace,&rdquo; even as the Kremlin is signaling dissatisfaction with President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\">Donald Trump<\/a>&lsquo;s peace proposal.<\/p>\n<p>U.S., Russian, Ukrainian, and European negotiating teams descended on Miami, Florida, this weekend for the latest round of peace talks.
