The transcript was prepared after Bloomberg reviewed a recording of the call. [phone rings] Steve Witkoff: Hi Yuri. Yuri Ushakov: Yeah Steve hi, how are you? SW: Good Yuri. How you doing? YU: I am ok. Congratulations my friend. SW: Thank you. YU: You made a great job. Just a great job. Thank you so much. Thank you, thank you. SW: Thank you Yuri and thanks for your support. I know your country supported it and I thank you. YU: Yes, yes, yes. Yes. You know that’s why we suspend the organization of first Russian-Arabic summit. SW: Yes. YU: Yeah, because we think that you are making the real job there in the region. SW: Well listen. I am going to tell you something. I think, I think if we can get the Russia-Ukraine thing solved, everybody’ll be jumping for joy. YU: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, you need to solve only one problem. [laughs] SW: What? YU: Russian-Ukrainian war. SW: I know! How do we get that solved? YU: My friend, I just want your advice. Do you think that it will be useful if our bosses will talk on the phone? SW: Yes, I do. YU: You do. And when you think it could be possible? SW: I think as soon as you suggest, my guy is ready to do it. YU: Ok, ok. SW: Yuri, Yuri, here’s what I would do. My recommendation. YU: Yes, please. SW: I would make the call and just reiterate that you congratulate the president on this achievement, that you supported it, you supported it, that you respect that he is a man of peace and you’re just, you’re really glad to have seen it happen. So I would say that. I think from that it’s going to be a really good call. Because — let me tell you what I told the President. I told the president that you - that the Russian Federation has always wanted a peace deal. That’s my belief. I told the president I believe that. And I believe the question is — the issue is is that we have two nations that are having a hard time coming to a compromise and when we do, we’re going to have a peace deal. I’m even thinking that maybe we set out like a 20-point peace proposal, just like we did in Gaza. We put a 20-point Trump plan together that was 20 points for peace and I’m thinking maybe we do the same thing with you. My point is this... YU: Ok, ok my friend. I think that very point our leaders could discuss. Hey Steve, I agree with you that he will congratulate, he will say that Mr. Trump is a real peace man and so and so. That he will say. SW: But here’s what I think would be amazing. YU: Ok, ok. SW: What if, what if... hear me out... YU: I will discuss that with my boss and then I come back to you. Ok? SW: Yeah because listen to what I’m saying. I just want you to say, maybe just to say this to President Putin, because you know I have the deepest respect for President Putin. YU: Yes, Yes. SW: Maybe he says to President Trump: you know, Steve and Yuri discussed a very similar 20-point plan to peace and that could be something that we think might move the needle a little bit, we’re open to those sorts of things — to explore what it’s going to take to get a peace deal done. Now, me to you, I know what it’s going to take to get a peace deal done: Donetsk and maybe a land swap somewhere. But I’m saying instead of talking like that, let’s talk more hopefully because I think we’re going to get to a deal here. And I think Yuri, the president will give me a lot of space and discretion to get to the deal. YU: I see... SW: ...so if we can create that opportunity that after this I talked to Yuri and we had a conversation I think that could lead to big stuff. YU: Ok, that sounds good. Sounds good. SW: And here’s one more thing: Zelenskiy is coming to the White House on Friday. YU: I know that. [chuckles] SW: I will go to that meeting because they want me there, but I think if possible we have the call with your boss before that Friday meeting. YU: Before, before — yeah? SW: Correct. YU: Ok, ok. I got your advice. So I discuss that with my boss and then I come back to you, ok? SW: Ok Yuri, I’ll speak to you soon. YU: Great, great. Thank you so much. Thanks you. SW: Bye, bye. YU: Bye. [Call Ends] |

With Zelensky scheduled to visit the White House the next day, Putin made the Oct. 16 call just as Trump was giving serious consideration to arming Ukraine with long-range Tomahawk missiles to ramp up the pressure on Moscow to end its nearly four-year war on the country. The critical Putin-Trump call came after Witkoff suggested to Yuri Ushakov, Russia’s top foreign policy aide, that Putin ingratiate himself with the US president by stroking his ego on achieving the Gaza cease-fire deal about a week before, according to a transcript published by Bloomberg of an Oct. 14 call between the US envoy and Kremlin chief foreign policy advisor. |
