Ushakov on Witkoff's visit: Such contacts won't be public

MOSCOW. March 13 (Interfax) - Russian presidential aide Yury Ushakov has declined to comment on reports about a possible visit of U.S. Special Presidential Envoy Steve Witkoff to Moscow.

"Everyone is talking about that, but I would rather make no comment, as we agreed that such contacts will not be public," Ushakov said in an interview with the Rossiya-1 television channel (VGTRK).

Aviation authorities told Interfax that a plane associated with Witkoff landed in Moscow on Thursday.

"The Gulfstream G650 business jet on a flight from Qatar has landed in Moscow," a source in the aviation authorities said.
