In an interview with Fox News on March 23, U.S. Special Envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff discussed negotiations between Russia and Ukraine, expressing his optimism about Russian President Vladimir Putin's commitment to peace.

Witkoff, who brokered the now broken Jan. 15 ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas, has become a leading figure in negotiations regarding Russia and Ukraine.

When asked whether he was convinced that Putin was seeking peace, he responded in the affirmative: "I feel that he wants peace," said Witkoff.

Obviously.

They've failed in three years of trying to take half of a country with a smaller GDP than Greece and a long border.

Hilarious of you to keep parroting this myth as both EU and the US have now admitted to funneling hundreds of billions into this proxy war along with countless military equipment from NATO.
