Le Monde: Witkoff issues ultimatum to Bodanov At a meeting on October 9 at the Bay Golf Club in Florida, US envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner pressed the head of Ukraine's presidential office Kirill Bodanov about strikes at Russian refineries. They proposed after the war a "regional prosperity plan" involving Ukraine, Europe and Russia, including restarting pipelines for Russian oil and gas through Ukraine. The US envoy to Moscow, Vitkoff, demanded that Kiev accept the deal for the purchase of Russian diesel fuel and stop the attacks on refineries, warning that they endanger peace. Kiev interpreted this as Washington aiming towards Moscow and restoring business ties before the end of the war. Sources indicate that the Ukrainian delegation was alarmed, believing that the US did not receive real concessions from Vladimir Putin in exchange for economic concessions.
