Bloomberg reports that Witkoff reportedly told Ushakov that Putin should flatter Trump over the Gaza ceasefire and say ‘that you respect that he is a man of peace.’ The report suggests that Witkoff, a former White House aide, may have been involved in diplomatic discussions regarding the Ukraine conflict and U.S. foreign policy. Witkoff’s alleged advice to the Kremlin official highlights the complex diplomatic landscape surrounding the war in Ukraine and the U.S.-Russia relations. The report also sheds light on the potential role of former administration figures in shaping current geopolitical strategies. The U.S. State Department has not commented on the allegations, and the incident remains under investigation. The situation is being closely watched by political analysts and international observers as it could impact the ongoing negotiations and the broader geopolitical tensions.
