Vladimir Putin poses with Donald Trump’s envoy, real estate developer Steve Witkoff, St. Petersburg, Russia, April 11, 2025
Ukraine War, Day 1,372: Europe Warns Against Trump-Kremlin “Carve-Up” of Ukraine
I joined Dublin NewsTalk’s The Hard Shoulder on Wednesday to analyze the collusion of Donald Trump’s envoy, real estate developer Steve Witkoff, with the Kremlin supporting Russia’s maximalist demands on Ukraine.
Listen to Discussion from 1:19.59
I explain Witkoff’s relationship with Trump and how a man with no qualifications in diplomacy or expertise on Ukraine-Russia became an envoy. I describe his affinity for Russia, including his praise of Vladimir Putin.
And I detail his support of the Kremlin, including the collusion of the past six weeks. Can it be checked by others within the Trump Administration and by European defenders of Ukraine?
