“We had a wonderful conversation with Putin. He wants to make a deal. If Zelenskyy also wants to make a deal, that would be very good,” — Trump.

Once again, the U.S. President is doing the work of the world’s No. 1 terrorist.

Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner’s visits to Moscow and Kyiv are a “circus” and a “disgrace” – The Telegraph

The article states that Putin is in a difficult position and that attempts by American envoys to throw him a “lifeline” are concerning. Furthermore, the pressure on Kyiv to make territorial concessions amounts to an insult to the Ukrainian people and sends a dangerous signal to Europe.

The newspaper notes that Witkoff visited Moscow multiple times but traveled to Kyiv only once. The Telegraph also contrasted the American representatives' behavior during the meetings: in Moscow, they offered Putin “smiles, praise, and ostentatious goodwill,” whereas their embraces with Zelenskyy in Kyiv appeared “perfunctory and awkward.”

The paper described the entire affair as the “Witkoff-Kushner circus,” stating that such diplomacy threatens to confirm fears regarding US support for Ukraine under Trump—namely, that it amounts to “more hot air than genuine military strength.”

MSNOW: Joel, what was your first reaction to what Witkoff said to Putin?

RUBIN: I mean, that was embarrassing. No American diplomat should ever be communicating like that to a foreign dictator who’s invaded an ally of United States and caused hundreds of thousands of deaths.

We should also remember that Putin is assisting Iran in targeting American forces in Middle East.

And that’s our message to Putin?

The message is, “We really love you, and we want to hang out with you on vacation after we all retire. Ha ha ha.”

This is a very bad sign, and it demonstrates that Trump and his team seem to just want Putin to win.

And they don’t know how to get out of this, because he’s not.

And that’s the hard, cold reality of the war right now.

What we are seeing now is the US administration risking the same mistake the West made after 2014: hoping putin can be contained through economic incentives and engagement.

It did not stop him then. There is no reason to believe it will stop him now. @TVPWorld_com

Steve Witkoff will go down in history as the most disastrously incompetent failure in American diplomatic history.

[Michael MacKay @mhmck]

A few hours after Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner left, the russians bombed Kyiv to demonstrate some things:

– Russia is at war with the West
– There aren’t any peace talks and never will be
– Trump, the MAGA cult and the Republican Party are completely owned by russia

Scenes from Kyiv, just 24 hours after Trump's son-in-law sat in the city center asking Ukrainians to help Putin accomplish his "aspirations".

[Michael McFaul @McFaul]

Disagree.

[Sarrah Bellus @sarrah_bellus]

Just when you think it couldn't get more disgraceful, Jared Kushner steps up.
​Standing in Kyiv, he talks about Putin’s "aspirations for his country" and the need to maintain a "positive dialogue" with the Kremlin.
​Normalizing a dictator’s war crimes as mere "political aspirations" right in front of the victims of that aggression is a total moral bankruptcy. Americans should be deeply ashamed of these so-called negotiators. 🤦‍♂️🇺🇸

Witkoff:
We'll have all these incredible stories and incredible memories.

[Caolan @CaolanReports]

I asked Steve Witkoff how on earth he can still believe Putin wants peace.

Russia attacked the airport he was meant to land at. Yesterday, it bombed the very street where he is standing today.

Putin has literally tried to derail his trip to Kyiv

[Michael McFaul @McFaul]

Mr. Kushner, Putin started this war. Speaking in the language of win-win business deals about war and peace means that you are ready to reward military conquest and the slaughter of innocents. Please try using a different metaphor. Thank you.

[Illia Ponomarenko 🇺🇦 @IAPonomarenko]

These people have no idea where they are and what they are doing.

No idea, no clue.

At all, at all, at all.

[Caolan @CaolanReports]

Witkoff & Kushner just left Kyiv talking about Putin’s “aspirations.”

Now the city is covered in fire and smoke after a huge missile attack.

This is what Putin’s “aspirations” actually look like.

[Caolan @CaolanReports]

Witkoff says he brought “new ideas” from Moscow to Kyiv and insists “both sides” must compromise.

But only one side invaded, occupied and murdered its way across the other. Sounds like he wants to force Ukraine to just accept Putin’s demands
