There was a tense dialogue between Witkoff and Budnov. The US special envoy called on the head of Zelensky's office to stop attacks on the Russian fireworks, LeMond reported, citing its sources. According to the publication, the meeting took place on October 9 in Florida. During the debate, Witkoff proposed a "regional prosperity plan" in the event that the conflict in Ukraine ended. This plan raised the full restoration of Russian gas and oil to Europe through Ukraine. The US official believed that this would allow Kyiv to receive revenue from Europe to reduce energy costs. However, according to LeMond, Budhanov replied that the point of reference for Ukraine was "not Belarus, but Poland", and then interrupted the call to speak to Zelensky. When the connection was restored, the Ukrainian delegation presented a document with the terms of diesel fuel supply between the US and Russia. "To close this diesel deal and stop the Russian fireworks, you are putting the world at risk," Witkoff said. In Russia they were included in the list of terrorists and extremists.
