Trump says Witkoff has got to ‘sell’ Ukraine to Russia as it’s ‘standard practice’

Witkoff has got to sell Ukraine to Russia, that’s what a deal maker does; it is standard practice, Trump said, commenting on the secret conversations between his aides and those of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Bloomberg earlier published transcripts of two conversations — one between Witkoff and Ushakov, and another between Dmitriev and Ushakov — in which Witkoff reportedly advised Ushakov on how the Russian president should discuss the peace process with his American counterpart.
