Summary

Trump’s envoy Steve Witkoff, in a CNN interview with Jake Tapper, failed to specify any Russian concessions in a potential Ukraine peace deal despite detailing demands on Ukraine.

After claiming a “friendship” with Putin, Witkoff spoke vaguely about “territorial” and “economic” concessions from both sides. He also claimed a U.S.-Ukraine deal on raw earth minerals would be signed soon.

When confronted with Russian state TV footage suggesting Trump’s stance aligns with Putin’s, Witkoff insisted diplomacy requires communication.

His remarks fueled concerns over Trump’s approach to Russia and Ukraine.

    Even the EU vasals have nothing to say.
    Blindly follow the leader, jump when they say. Even let them blow up their cheap gasline and ruin their economy.
    Not one peep. And now they are surprised they get no respect? LOL.
    What does this guy think he has of weight?
    His new US master will decide for him, that’s what happen when you allow your country to be used as a proxy.
    As if there weren’t enough examples of US ‘friends’ thrown under the bus.
