Trump's peace plan had Russian fingerprints all over it - and now we know why
To learn of US envoy Steve Witkoff and his Russian interactions is to understand the handbrake turn towards Moscow.
The Bloomberg report of Witkoff's recent involvement distills eye-watering detail of his contact with Yuri Ushakov, Vladimir Putin's senior adviser on foreign policy.
In a phone call last month, Witkoff told Ushakov that Zelenskyy was coming to visit the White House, and suggested Putin speak to Trump beforehand.
Witkoff reportedly said: "The president will give me a lot of space and discretion to get to the deal."
Subsequently, Witkoff drafted the controversial peace proposal with his Russian counterparts, and the US pressured Ukraine to accept it.
The report paints an unflattering picture of Trump's envoy doing a good impression of a useful idiot.
Moscow's threat to Ukraine and to the security infrastructure of Western Europe is strengthened on his handshake.
He'll press the flesh in Russia once more - Donald Trump is sending Witkoff back to Moscow for further talks aimed at bridging the Ukraine-Russia impasse.
