Trump envoy can’t name a single concession Russia will make in peace deal
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.
You're viewing a single thread.
Meanwhile Zelensky is saying he'll give up the presidency in exchange for NATO membership.
Is that a concession? I don't think he actually wants to be president anymore.
Don't get me wrong, it's the correct "deal" to make - it's the most overt declaration he can make to those who claim he wants to be dictator for life - I just think it's probably a win/win for him.
Win win win to be honest. It's just further proof he doesn't want to be the dictator he's accused of being.
And further proof he's the much better diplomat/politician than those who exclude him.
Is that a concession?
It's absolutely a concession, and a very big one too. It's a concession to the Trump allegations that Zelenskyy is a dictator. And this bullshit argument was given as one of the reasons he wasn't invited to the talks in Saudi Arabia.
I don’t think he actually wants to be president anymore.
Doesn't change the fact that it's a very big concession.
It might be the correct deal, but it worries me. I can only imagine the people saying he wants to be a dictator are those that want a Putin style election to install another puppet. I know they have to have elections at some point - it's just a worry!
I highly doubt any Russian aligned party or candidate would win any office. Doubtful they'd survive the election in a place like Mariupol or Sebastopol.
Wonder how we can protect exit polling - that’s how we know Maduro stole so big.
I mean the Ukrainian people are currently fighting against a Russian invasion. This could be a problem in a decade or so. But not anytime soon.
Trump will agree as long as he quits first then pull the rug from under 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.Whoah, you get paid to spout all that or are you volunteering your time?
Frankly, it doesn't matter how they put it. Any comment that is not praising Zelensky as the most noble leader of the free world or something, will be mercilessly criticized. They might as well just have their fun.
That comment was not criticism of any of Zelensky's positions or choices. It was word salad of Russian talking points.
I didn't say it was a critical comment about Zelensky. What I said was that anything anyone says here that is not praising Zelensky, will be criticized with a NATO talking point passion.
yawn, a level of superfluous comment expected from paid nafo trolls.
why are they all so boringfrom paid nafo trolls.
What's nafo?
your mom
He's not used to typing in English - Russia keyboard.
Wow. Not get your rubels from Pootin? something original from a nafo troll? that's a first.
That is demonstrably false with a mere glance at the news headlines.
If it's demonstrably false then I await your demonstration of falsehood instead of you just saying stuff
see, you've got nothing, as always
