Witkoff lands as sanctions deadline looms

August 07, 2025

US envoy Steve Witkoff arrived in Moscow yesterday, state media reported, where he will meet with Russian leadership as President Donald Trump's deadline to impose fresh sanctions over Russia’s offensive on Ukraine looms.

Witkoff lands as sanctions deadline looms

Mr Trump has given Russia until tomorrow to halt its military campaign or face new penalties.

Ukrainian officials meanwhile reported yesterday at least two people were killed and 10 others wounded overnight in Russian shelling of the Zaporizhzhia region.

The White House has not outlined specific actions it plans to take tomorrow, but Mr Trump has previously threatened to impose “secondary tariffs” targeting Russia's remaining trade partners, such as China and India.

The move would aim to stifle Russian exports, but would risk significant international disruption.

Mr Trump said on Tuesday that he would await the outcome of the Moscow talks before moving forward with any economic retaliation.
