Reuters reported:
“Putin was proven on state TV greeting Witkoff in St. Petersburg’s presidential library at the beginning of the negotiations and state information companies later stated the talks lasted greater than 4 hours.

However what makes Witkoff so efficient can be what makes him a goal for the USAID-media. His realism – whereas many rave about wanting a ‘simply’ settlement within the Ukraine, he understands the plain undeniable fact that the phrases are principally to be dictated by the successful social gathering, Russia.
In one other Reuters report:
“The U.S. particular envoy main talks with Moscow, sat down with President Donald Trump within the White Home and delivered a transparent message.
The quickest method to dealer a ceasefire in Ukraine, stated Witkoff, was to help a method that may give Russia possession of 4 jap Ukrainian areas it tried to annex illegally in 2022, two U.S. officers and 5 folks aware of the state of affairs informed Reuters.”
In plain language, the US recognizing the brand new Russian areas of Kherson, Zaporozhie, Donetsk, and Luhansk, in addition to the validity of the referendum held in these areas, is the primary on the Russian checklist of calls for. If the US received’t comply with that, it’d as properly stand again and let the struggle play out.
Basic Keith Kellogg, the president’s Ukraine envoy, is towards that notion.
“Witkoff, an previous pal of Trump’s who has helped safe key diplomatic victories for the president, has garnered some help from the Republican Social gathering’s Ukraine skeptics however his proposals have stoked outrage amongst different Republicans who consider the administration has turned too sharply towards Moscow.
Some Republicans on Capitol Hill have been so involved about Witkoff’s obvious pro-Russia stance within the Carlson interview that a number of known as Nationwide Safety Adviser Mike Waltz and Secretary of State Marco Rubio afterward to complain, in response to an individual aware of the calls.”
When Reuters writes about frightened ‘Republicans’, it’s actually neo-cons and Rinos.
