It’s clear from this that the only difference between Steve Witkoff’s and Vladmir Putin’s views on the war in Ukraine is that Putin actually knows the names of all the five Ukrainian regions he wants to keep.

The most frightening thing for us Europeans is that our leaders allow this total moron and Putinist to negotiate with fascist-Russia the furure of democratic Ukraine and Europe. Our leaders should make it crystal clear that we will be in no way bound by the outcome of these fake negotiations.
Do Americans even know that President Zelenskyy himself is one of these native Russian-speaking Ukrainians? Russian-speaking doesn’t mean they identify as Russian or want to live under a cruel Russian dictatorship with an utterly miserable standard of living and no freedoms or rule of law.
It’s obvious he has no clue of the history of Ukraine. Same with most who voted for his boss, they’re the ones with TRD. They believe their own lies. Sad, just sad.
Oh so the key was to allow Russia to invade territories? I thought the issue was Ukraine supposedly joining NATO, or being a nazi regime, or being Satan or whatever excuses were brought initially.
Thats right .
Never seen such stupidity before.
Again giving away some points before the negotiations on sunday.
Russia is laughing and know they can ask for more🤮
Hm. Also russischsprachiges Gebiet bedeutet automatisch, dass es territorial zu Russland gehören muss? OK, was sagen unsere Freund:innen in Österreich und der deutschsprachigen Schweiz zu solch einer Logik..? 🤦 Etc. pp
THEN-I guess Quebec must want to be taken over by France as they still speak French. Right? And France should just murder half of those French speaking Canadians to help them to join France? I heard that a bunch of Cubans in Florida want Cuba to occupy Miami-Dade too🙄
I clearly remember armed Russian soldiers accompanying the pollsters when Russia held the referendums in Ukraine. And it was my understanding that large percentages of the population had fled the war in areas where the referendums were held. In fact, the U.N. declared the referendums illegal.
Witkoff is misinformed. He repeats the lies spread by the Kremlin. Immediately remove him from all negotiations on Ukraine. A mediator in peace negotiations must be informed and neutral toward the participants.
In several countries, more than one language is spoken.
The real poll he is lying about.⬇️
Why don't Witkoff & Putin sit on one side of the table & Zelensky on the other? There's literally no difference between W & P, except Putin knows what he's talking about & Witkoff hasn't a clue!
#SlavaUkraini🇺🇦 #HeroyamSlava🇺🇦 Cyrillic #СлаваУкраїні🇺🇦 #Героямславаhas🇺🇦 English #GlorytoUkraine🇺🇦 #GlorytotheHeroes🇺🇦 are salutes and rallying cries against the Russian invasion and war crimes against Ukraine🇺🇦! #IStandWithUkraine🇺🇦 Please join freedom loving people who #StandWithUkraine🇺🇦 #Zelensky🇺🇦🇺🇸🇨🇦🇪🇺🇺🇳🇫🇷
If the Spetnaz seized Manhattan or Rhode Island and organized a referendum about the attachment of these territories to Russia, it wouldn't be legitimate either.
Nazis telling Nazis stuff with a Nazi moderator. Oh boy…
And: We should also speak about Louisiana, New Mexico and Alaska: Don‘t they belong to France, Mexico and Russia? These are critical regions, the US should give them back…
Crazy stuff here. “From the Russian perspective (Putin), part of Russia…Correct”. Kind of like Canada is part of the United States from Trumps perspective.
The sheer insanity of this, a US "negotiator" being interviewed by Putin's biggest fan who claims a demon attacked him in his sleep and left claw marks.
Ukraine should not be forced to relinquish its territories and the world should not acknowkedge the annexation by force of the territories of any country. This would be paving the way for innumerable wars. Read the UN Charter Charter https://www.un.org/en/about-us/un-charter and about the history of the Balkans
Apparently, Witkoff has no idea how Russian "referendums"work in occupied territories after they get rid of all undesirables or he knows and just plays stupid for the purpose of spreading the Russian propaganda.
It's painful to watch. As English is spoken in the US does he also support the UK taking back parts of its former empire?
If Trump succeeds in normalising an invader keeping territory, it makes things easier for him re. Greenland, Panama and Canada. Precedent will be a slippery slope here.
Does Witkoff really believe that the referendums in the Russian-occupied Ukrainian territories have more legitimacy than Hitler’s referendum after he annexed Austria in 1938?
Witkoff is a puppet of Putin—this is not how an independent negotiator behaves.
Greetings from Prague, and shame on weak Trump!
Europe, we must wake up and establish a massive fund for the defense of Ukraine—and, by extension, Europe. Or would we rather find ourselves in the trenches soon?
What an absolute disgrace- this idiot and negotiator chosen by Russia didn’t even bother to learn the names on the map. When he tries to name provinces he can only get Crimea? He names Donbas too but that’s not an oblast, it’s a nick for the geographic “Donetsk Basin” #СлаваУкраїні
And like Putin, he respects only force. The willful ignorance and imperialist arrogance is breathtaking. Europe's relationship with the US is now all about damage control while we try to get our shit together militarily.
Steve #Witkoff must be the dumbest negotiator in world history—or the dumbest #traitor. He can’t even get the number and names of the affected #Ukrainian oblasts right (you had one job!). Just pathetic.
The US is only involved in these negotiations because previously the US earned trust with the rest of the world to defend democracy (usually). That’s over.
So, if an illegal rigged referendum gave California and Texas back to Mexico and Alaska back to Russia, witkoff would be fine. What a twat. The UN voted on the Russian referendum and declared them void 144-5. US is quickly turning to the dark side.
Are they seriously talking about "referendums" and "russian speakers" again?
Ignoring the fact that russian speakers from the region made up the majority of soldiers who fought pro-kremlins in ATO since 2014? Oh, then there's the majority russian speaking Harkiv that Putin is failing to take 3 years
Witcoff is an imposter. A real estate attorney, whose grandparents were born in Russia, acting as a historian but is merely another Trump loyalist propagandist.
it's mindblowing to me to see americans repeat the talking point about language as if it justifies anything. are maga americans aware that they're speaking english? a lang from england? do they think george washington invented english?
I think the Dutch should demand the territory of Pensylvania (ignoring Pensylvania Dutch is actually German... but whatever)... oh, and New Amsterdam, of course, where the Dutch language is so oppressed hardly anyone there speaks it😬.
Stunning in a conflict where hundreds of thousands of people have been killed could be both so ignorant of the details and also so visibly obtuse relating to right and wrong. America how has it come to this that these people are now your best and brightest on the international stage?
I'd put it the opposite way. Our best and brightest are no where near the international stage. And nearly everyone with any power is tripping over themself to keep a senile old narcissist happy.
This guy should not have any business in the negotiations. Only if by officially sitting on the Russian side of the table, but not as a U.S. representative. What a MAGA-Kremlin asset.
Is he really taking seriously the referendums ?
The ones held by Russia, in wartime, at gunpoint, while a large portion of civilians had fled, on a portion of the claimed oblasts only ?
The ones with ridiculous 97% of more results ?
This is so painful to watch.
What hidden messages is Vlad sending to Donald in that portrait 😍
Donald will hang it in his bedroom. Should be checked for hidden microphones and cameras 🤣🤣
Oh yes. Ireland is English-speaking. Does it belong to England?
The reason these regions speak Russian is a result of centuries of brutal colonisation and russification. Even Zelensky's mother tongue is Russian - he learned Ukrainian after becoming president.
Well, you made a good point with Witkoff and Americans speaking English, and I - accidentally, by misunderstanding who the "he" in your sentence refers to - added another about Zelensky :)
Is this clown really that stupid. Referendums were held when 50% of the population had fled to safe areas, in Kherson and Particularly Zaporozhzia the majority have never been occupied and never voted in these pretend referendums,
Speaking Russian does not make you Russian
He’s basically sold out Ukraine, publicly, before an agreement has been reached. Unspeakable to reward the aggression of Russia for some sort of American convenience. Morals to the wind… and T Carlson, Russian shill, made very happy.
My life as an Estonian living in Hungary (just next to Ukraine) was so much better before today, when i didn't know anything about the existence of this arse clown.
By this logic I challenge USA to surrender its territory to UK (again, which they actually seems to be willing apparently, see talk about joining the Commonwealth) ->
Comments
Now it is clear.
Ffs 😐 he doesn’t even know the names of the regions which he says are the main issues of the conflict 🤦🏻♀️
What the actual fuck? Why is this liar telling me that a concentration camp is the dream of millions of Ukrainians?
Oh so the key was to allow Russia to invade territories? I thought the issue was Ukraine supposedly joining NATO, or being a nazi regime, or being Satan or whatever excuses were brought initially.
Never seen such stupidity before.

Russia is laughing and know they can ask for more🤮
Did he actually speak to anyone or just get handed is talking points on a piece of paper?
Never Surrender.
The same Witkoff who is friends with Anatoly Golubchik who ran a high stakes gambling ring based at Trump Tower?
This Witkoff?
Da Bronx..
IF this is the US position the USA is no longer aligned with the west and all intelligence sharing should stop immediately.
The elections were illegal because people were forced to vote, at gunpoint.
Let them vote again, but this time ONLY with European observers. Perhaps there will be another outcome
Yes, referenda, held by the RUSSIANS, after they INVADED and then ran the dubious vote.
Is this man a fully qualified fuckwit, or is he still in training?
It's not like that flipping houses show, he could have just got one of those instead.🤦♂️
Nah, surely 'the' is more appropriate, as it refers to specific referenda that have been completed?
Let's get into a barney about it, I say 'shove that a, up your a' 🤣
I went with fully qualified fuckwit. Just my view.
How do you know it wasn't an option 1, option 2 question Anaideia
Also, I'll need to see proof of those qualifications, or an affidavit from his college 😉🤣

i will consider #Americans FULL IDIOTS ! MORONS ! NITWIT ! CRETIN ! DUMB ! BRAINLESS !
& I will cry for the brave 🇺🇸 that gave their life for the fight against fascism 😔 in WWII ...

He’s carrying out the Kremlin’s orders to betray the Ukrainian people and disguise it as a peace negotiation.
Number of votes?

...and the native indians 'own' the rest.
Trump will hit a problem soon.

Europe has to put a STOP to this crap and get Witkoff and Trump out of any and all negotiations.
This. Is. Nuts.
Should be investigated and prosecuted by ICC.
Think about it.
Since when has Putin ever ONCE said he'd be satisfied with the Donbass and Crimea?
how fkg ignorant
🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Disgraceful lieing.

Stupid argument made by ignorants.
I agree, Americans speaking English is another, even bigger, case in point.
If he made the switch privitely too, we don't know. But many Russian-speaking Ukrainians did so after 2022, so I wouldn't be surprised if he did.
Speaking Russian does not make you Russian
