U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff met Russian President Vladimir Putin on Dec. 2 as part of the U.S. effort to advance negotiations aimed at ending Russia’s war in Ukraine.
Top Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov, who took part in the talks, called the meeting “very useful, constructive, and highly substantive” but said no concrete deal was agreed upon — a statement suggesting that a final peace agreement remains far off.
Witless Witkoff sat at the table telling Putin how wonderful his Moscow tour went. The aide to the right of Putin was incredibly happy at Witless Witkoff’s remarks as if to say to Putin “this guy is more stupid than we thought; really useful”.
