ALBAWABA - US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff will visit the Russian capital, Moscow, today, Aug. 3, US Permanent Representative to NATO Matt Whitaker confirmed.
"I know Steve Witkoff, who's a special envoy for President Trump, is in Moscow this weekend, and I'm hoping he can have a breakthrough," Whitaker told NBC News.
He further mentioned that his country wants "both sides to agree to a deal" and mentioned that the US Envoy's visit to Russia "is maybe going to bear some fruit."
Aside from the Russia-Ukraine war, Witkoff also stopped by Israel and the Gaza Strip on August 1 amid the deteriorating situation and spreading famine in the enclave under Israel's offensive and aid blockade.
Witkoff met with Mike Huckabee, the US Ambassador to Israel, and discussed the aid distribution efforts and "secure a plan to deliver more food" to Gaza. They also visited an aid distribution site in Rafah run by the US-led Gaza Humanitarian Foundation.
