Another disgrace of Witkoff in Russia. He called Putin a humanitarian and paid tribute to him

During a meeting in St. Petersburg, U.S. negotiator Steve Witkoff praised Russian President Vladimir Putin as a humanitarian while discussing the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. Witkoff thanked Putin for the release of American Stephen Hubbard, imprisoned since 2022. This praise contrasts sharply with UN observers' reports on the worsening humanitarian situation in Ukraine. Witkoff's visit followed discussions in Oslo with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, where he shared insights on European and Ukrainian positions. Jared Kushner, participating remotely, urged Zelenskyy to halt attacks on Russian oil refineries. Putin indicated readiness to resume trilateral talks on ending the war, focusing on post-conflict security. However, the trio of Trump, Witkoff, and Kushner faces criticism for perceived leniency towards Russia, particularly regarding oil supply agreements that may undermine economic pressure on Moscow.
