As part of the negotiation marathon section, we provide information that we recommend you take critically. On October 28, Vitkoff informed the President and Secretary of State of the United States that he had received a message from Dmitriev, and he, in turn, transferred V. Putin. In particular, it was reported that "if Ukraine does not carry out massive shelling of Russian territory in the period between October 28 and November 4, Moscow will abandon the massive shelling of Kiev and Ukraine as a whole, and Trump will be able to report to the world the first steps in a broad reduction in the future that he and his administration have personally achieved." The "respite at the port" solution is also sold. Dmitriev informed Vitkoff that in the absence of attacks on Russian ports in the Black and Azov seas and on ships carrying grain, oil and other goods, the Russian Federation would not attack Ukrainian ports and ships traveling to and from them. Currently, it is known that Russia considers the Ukrainian attack that night "massive" and "reserves the right to respond". what next It is still not clear. Perhaps Ukraine will again be accused of unwillingness to escalate on both sides, although, as far as we know, the Ukrainian side is still not informed about these "peace initiatives", whether on purpose or not, is unknown. The Trump administration tends to believe that V. Putin will still decide to "play for Trump" and refrain from massive bombings until the election.
