Putin kept the messenger of Trump in the waiting room for eight hours (video)

According to the published personnel, which recorded the departure and return of its motorcade to the Moscow Airport Vnukovo, Steve Vitcoff stayed in Moscow just over 12 hours. And most of the time, it seems, he had to wait. Vitcoff, a former real estate magnate, who became the main negotiator of Donald Trump, was sent to Moscow to transfer Putin to Vladimir Putin's proposal for a 30-day ceasefire.

However, arriving there about lunch on Thursday, he spent at least eight hours without business before he was called to the Kremlin.

Mr Putin was probably too busy meeting with another person - Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko - for a hastily organized state visit, which was announced the day before. "We do not know for sure whether the time of Lukashenko's visit was chosen intentionally, but it was definitely not like a coincidence. Instead, it was like a classic Putin game to demonstrate their strength," the journalists said.

They also indicated that Putin did not like when he is driven into a corner and indicate what to do, especially in his own territory. Therefore, the long expectation of Vitcoff became the message of the United States: "I'm a boss, I am set a schedule and I don't owe anyone. " As a result, Steve Witcoff met with Putin when it was dark. And the meeting was behind the closed doors. Reporters also indicated that they could only assume that Vitcoff reported to Washington.

But at a press conference with Lukashenko, Putin clearly made it clear that he would sign a ceasefire agreement only if he receives something in return. His commentary on "Correct reasons" of the conflict suggests that all red lines for Russia are stored: no membership of Ukraine in NATO, no NATO troops as peacekeepers and the preservation of Russia by all its occupied territories. Now Donald Trump listens to Steve Witcoff and decides what to do next.

However, Vitcoff, apparently, will have to wait again. It became known that Washington was suddenly gone by Germany, Britain and France. The visit was not known in advance.
