"SW: Yuri, Yuri, here's what I would do. My recommendation. YU: Yes, please. SW: I would make the call and just reiterate that you congratulate the president on this achievement, that you supported it, you supported it, that you respect that he is a man of peace and you're just, you're really glad to have seen it happen. So I would say that. I think from that it's going to be a really good call."
"I told the president that you that the Russian Federation has always wanted a peace deal. That's my belief. I told the president I believe that. And I believe the question is the issue is is that we have two nations that are having a hard time coming to a compromise and when we do, we're going to have a peace deal."
On Oct. 14 a call took place between special envoy Steve Witkoff and Russian foreign-policy adviser Yuri Ushakov about Ukraine-Russia peace negotiations. Witkoff recommended that Russian leaders call President Donald Trump soon and begin by congratulating him on the achievement, expressing support, and calling him a man of peace. He advised framing remarks to show respect and to emphasize Russia's desire for a peace deal. Witkoff suggested modeling a settlement on a 20-point Trump-style peace proposal, citing a similar Gaza plan, and said he had told the President he believed Russia wanted a peace deal.
