Putin Insider Details New Russian Move That Has Rattled NATO, EU; ‘President Has Decided…’

Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskov says Russian President Vladimir Putin works for hours on end, often through the night, as Moscow prepares fresh contacts with Washington. Peskov revealed that intense backchannel diplomacy has unfolded over the past two weeks, with U.S. negotiators led by special envoy Steve Witkoff holding marathon talks across Europe with EU leaders and Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky. The negotiations reportedly built on key points discussed in Alaska and during long, closed-door Putin–Witkoff meetings. Moscow is now assessing how much those proposals changed after Ukrainian input, signaling that the next phase of U.S.–Russia engagement could be decisive.
