Witkoff's visit to Russia will show the true position of the USA on the war: Timothy Snyder's analysis.

The policy of the United States of America regarding Ukraine will be tested during the special representative's visit to Russia

Professor Timothy Snyder, who teaches at Yale University, expressed his doubts about the US policy regarding Ukraine during the current trip to Russia by Steve Witkoff, the special representative of the US president. He stated that this trip will show whether there is really an American policy.

The Ukraine proposed a ceasefire without any conditions. Russia will likely reject this and try to dictate that the US should help Russia gain control over Ukraine - something that Russia cannot achieve on its own. We will see whether there is an American policy aimed at forcing Russia to ceasefire or whether the US is an ally of Russian imperialism, while the entire process conceals the subservience of the US to Russian demands.

Snyder also emphasized that Russia has no right to dictate terms in Ukraine.

If Witkoff returns from Russia supporting Russian demands regarding Ukrainian sovereignty, we will have our answer. Russia has no right to dictate what happens in Ukraine, just as Ukraine has no right to dictate what happens in Russia. The root causes of this war lie within Russia, as the Russians themselves remind us.

Recently, Russian President Vladimir Putin approved a proposal for a ceasefire, but there are still questions that need to be discussed. Putin also demands that Ukraine stop mobilization and arms acquisition during the truce.

US President Donald Trump responded to Putin's statement about the ceasefire, expressing his doubts and the need for clarifications.

The special representative Steve Witkoff will meet with Putin this evening. The meeting will be held in a closed format.
