‘You are a humanitarian also, sir’: the US feeds Putin with lies as Ukraine’s children take cover and die | Andrew Roth

The Trump administration's approach to peace with Russia involves significant misinformation, as demonstrated by Steve Witkoff's flattering remarks to Putin. Witkoff, a close associate of Trump, praised Putin as a humanitarian despite Russia's violent actions in Ukraine and elsewhere. Meanwhile, the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine worsens, with Russian strategies aimed at creating catastrophic conditions for civilians. As Witkoff negotiates, families in Kharkiv mourn recent drone strike victims, highlighting the stark contrast between the administration's narrative and the reality on the ground. Trump's comments downplay the severity of the situation, raising doubts among Ukrainians about U.S. intentions.
