The Scandalous Report on Trump's Envoy: How Witkoff Advised Moscow on Ukraine.
According to ТСН: The scandalous report revealed shocking details of the U.S. special envoy Stephen Witkoff's contacts with Russian President Vladimir Putin's foreign policy adviser, Yuri Ushakov, demonstrating a sharp turn towards Russia in Donald Trump's so-called peace plan. Witkoff not only shared confidential information but also gave the Russian adviser tips on how to communicate with the American leader.
The article raises numerous serious questions regarding Witkoff's contacts with Russian representatives and potential dangerous consequences.
"Understanding U.S. special envoy Stephen Witkoff and his contacts with the Russians means grasping the sharp pivot towards Moscow. If earlier the peace proposal, which had obvious Russian traces, raised surprise and misunderstanding, now there is significantly less of it".
Bloomberg's investigation into Witkoff's recent actions exposes numerous details about his communication with Ushakov, during which he effectively advised the Russian official on how to interact with Trump.
Witkoff, along with Russian representatives, developed a controversial peace initiative, after which Washington began pressuring Ukraine to support it. This demonstrates how Trump's envoy appears as a 'useful idiot'.
"Serious questions must be asked regarding his interaction with the Russians and concerns about the consequences, which could be catastrophic. A handshake with him strengthens Moscow's threat to Ukraine and the security infrastructure of Western Europe".
Despite the scandal, Witkoff is once again heading to Russia – Trump is sending him for new negotiations aimed at resolving the Ukrainian-Russian deadlock.
Putin showed almost no willingness to support the updated plan, and for Kyiv, even the thought that the next Trump 'Mr. Fixit' could 'fix' something sounds alarming. This raises concerns in Ukraine about Washington's intentions and the real priorities of the U.S. president.
"In any other job, Witkoff would have long been fired for irreversible compromise. At any other time, this would have been considered a major scandal. But under Donald Trump, the scandal is no longer what it used to be".
Meanwhile, the U.S. president continues to maintain contacts with the Russian leader through his trusted person. The actions of Witkoff indicate that the real balance of power in these relations is significantly less favorable for Trump than it might seem.
It should be noted that Bloomberg reported that Witkoff had a phone call with Ushakov in October, offering advice to Moscow on how to propose a peace plan to Trump regarding Ukraine. In particular, he recommended that Putin call Trump before Zelensky's visit to the White House and congratulate him on the agreement in Gaza. This call preceded the 28-point peace plan.
Trump reacted to Bloomberg's transcript, where Witkoff allegedly advises the Russians on how to win his favor. The president noted that there was nothing unusual in such actions, as this is standard practice for a mediator to conclude an agreement. He explained that the mediator has to 'sell' the proposal to both sides – Russia and Ukraine – since both have to give something up. Trump did not hear the audio recording but considers it 'ordinary negotiations'.
This situation highlights the complex geopolitical landscape surrounding Ukraine and reflects the intricate relationships between the U.S. and Russia. Witkoff remains a figure that raises numerous questions, and his actions may influence the further development of crisis events in the region.
