Billionaire envoy Witkoff reveals Putin's peace conditions
A billionaire from the USA and Middle East envoy, Steve Witkoff, met with Vladimir Putin. During the conversation with the Russian leader, the American heard the conditions for ending the war. In an interview with Fox News, Witkoff called the conflict "a complicated matter with a troublesome issue at its core."
Steve Witkoff spoke with Vladimir Putin in St. Petersburg. The American businessman and Middle East envoy reportedly discussed possible peace terms between Russia and Ukraine for about five hours.
According to Witkoff, the Russian leader presented his specific demands. Because of this, he believes a peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine regarding the end of the war is "emerging."
At the same time, in an interview for Fox News, the billionaire from the USA used very controversial words to describe Russia's invasion of Ukraine. In the opinion of the American businessman, the conflict is "a complicated matter," and its sources are "really problematic things." This is the term Witkoff used to describe the ongoing war.
It's a complicated situation, rooted in some real problematic things happening between the two countries, said Steve Witkoff when asked about the conditions Vladimir Putin presented.
The American envoy also said that the peace deal between Russia and Ukraine could hinge on the transfer of the so-called five territories, which are regions of Ukraine controlled by Russian forces.
For now, the date for the official negotiations between Russia, Ukraine, and the United States regarding ending the war is unknown. The USA attempted to lead a ceasefire, but talks on this matter failed.
