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 businesses later stated the talks lasted greater than 4 hours.

However what makes Witkoff so efficient can also 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 apparent undeniable fact that the phrases are largely to be dictated by the profitable occasion, 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 solution to dealer a ceasefire in Ukraine, stated Witkoff, was to assist a technique that will give Russia possession of 4 jap Ukrainian areas it tried to annex illegally in 2022, two U.S. officers and 5 folks acquainted with the scenario advised 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 conform to that, it’d as nicely stand again and let the conflict play out.
Common Keith Kellogg, the president’s Ukraine envoy, is towards that notion.
“Witkoff, an outdated buddy of Trump’s who has helped safe key diplomatic victories for the president, has garnered some assist from the Republican Social gathering’s Ukraine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 had 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, based on an individual acquainted with the calls.”
When Reuters writes about fearful ‘Republicans’, it’s actually neo-cons and Rinos.
