Could the next king of English chess be a Russian from St Petersburg?
Saturday, 30 November 2024 "The rain, the clouds, the lack of sun - I feel at home here," Nikita Vitiugov says. London, the chess grandmaster remarks, feels similar to St Petersburg, in terms of the weather, at least.
In a highly secretive meeting, Vladimir Putin met Trump’s close envoy Steve Witkoff in St. Petersburg, marking their third encounter since February. Talks reportedly focused on ending the Ukraine war and restoring U.S.-Russia relations, sparking rumors of a historic shift in diplomacy. Witkoff has become Trump’s trusted backchannel, with past negotiations already producing a prisoner swap. With whispers of a Trump-Putin summit and Ukraine excluded from key discussions, concerns rise over whether peace may come at the cost of Ukrainian sovereignty.
