The Kremlin has no information about the reported arrival of Steve Witkoff, U.S. President Donald Trump’s special envoy for the Middle East, in Moscow, Dmitry Peskov, press secretary for Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, said on Feb. 11.

As speculation grows over secret U.S.-Russia talks, flight tracking data shows a Gulfstream G650ER jet linked to Trump’s envoy Steve Witkoff landing in Moscow on Feb. 11. This comes just days after Donald Trump claimed he had spoken with Vladimir Putin to negotiate an end to the war in Ukraine—a conversation the Kremlin has neither confirmed nor denied. Meanwhile, Russian officials hint at ongoing diplomatic contacts, raising questions about what’s happening behind the scenes.

Peskov anyway refuted any meetings with the U.S. top officials in a comment to Russian state media.

"No, we have no information, and no contacts are planned," he claimed.

"As we’ve said, certain channels are in place, and various agencies are maintaining communications."

He added that these contacts have "intensified" recently.
