Trump Envoy Can’t Name a Single Concession Russia Will Make in Peace Deal
www.thedailybeast.com
Donald Trump’s Middle East envoy, who met with Russian President Vladimir Putin last week, said a deal over Ukraine’s raw earth minerals could be signed this week.

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.

    I think it’s a very fair deal.
    They are not pushing for the entire Ukraine.
    Ukrainian treatment is very fair - they get full citizenship with pensions and medical etc.

      Lol. At least you have a sense of humor! This must be a joke after all. Russia invades, is not really winning, and their opponent’s “great deal” is they get to still exist?
