US President's special envoy Steve Witkoff said he does not support British leader Keir Starmer's plan to deploy a European peacekeeping force to Ukraine.

Points of attention

  • Trump's representative dismisses Starmer's plan as simplistic, drawing parallels to Winston Churchill, and expresses admiration for Putin.
  • Steve Witkoff's defense of Putin's character and actions, including claims of praying for Trump's safety, adds a new dimension to the ongoing geopolitical tensions.

Witkoff made a new scandalous statement

Donald Trump's representative voiced his cynical position during an interview with journalist Tucker Carlson.

According to Steve Witkoff, he considers Keir Starmer's plan "posturing."

Moreover, the official claims that this plan is based on the "simplistic" idea of European leaders that "we should all be like Winston Churchill (British Prime Minister, who held this position twice — ed.)".

Trump's special envoy doesn't even hide that he "likes" Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, who has killed millions of people.

I don't think Putin is a bad guy. He's very smart.

Russia is demanding the withdrawal of Ukrainian troops from four regions. Then it will supposedly instantly end the war.

Points of attention

  • Putin is demanding that Ukraine withdraw troops from four regions in exchange for an immediate end to the war, sparking new tensions in Ukrainian-Russian relations.
  • Ukraine is willing to discuss territorial matters only after a complete ceasefire with Russia, highlighting the complexity of the ongoing conflict.
  • Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov expressed discontent over Ukraine's potential NATO accession, citing concerns over Russia's security and advocating for Ukraine's neutral status.

Peskov called the condition for ending the Russia's war against Ukraine cynical

This was stated by Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov in an interview with Le Point.

Peskov complained that Ukraine's accession to NATO would allegedly violate Russia's security. Therefore, Moscow wants Ukraine's neutral status and "recognition of reality" on the issue of territories.

He also added that Russian dictator Vladimir Putin voiced demands for an end to the war back in July.

I don’t know why no one is mentioning this now. Our constitution enshrines four regions (these are Zaporizhia, Donetsk, Kherson, and Luhansk regions — ed.). The Ukrainian army must lay down its arms and leave these territories. If it does so, military operations will cease immediately.

He also acknowledged that Russia does not fully control these areas. It views them as "temporarily occupied."
