No Signs of Putin Hungry to "Devour" All of Europe, Says US Envoy Witkoff
Putin's Reach Not Intended to Encompass Entire Europe, According to American Ambassador Witkoff - U.S. Envoy Witkoff asserted that Putin harbors no intention to annex all of Europe.
In a casual chat, Envoy Steve Witkoff, the man in the know, gives us a sneak peek into what's really going on in the heads of world leaders. "Yeah, the Ukraine crisis ain't all black and white," he says, "I mean, I've never seen a situation where there ain't two sides to a story."
On the question of whether Putin's got his eyes set on grabbing all of Europe, Witkoff shakes his head and offers a chuckle, "I can't imagine that he wants to devour all of Europe, mate. Not my take, anyways."
With a potential ceasefire on the horizon in Ukraine, Witkoff sees a bright future ahead. A hush-hush meeting in Saudi Arabia could kickstart the talks for a ceasefire in the Black Sea. "If the sea calms down, naturally, talks would progress towards a full ceasefire," he says.
US officials haven't been shy about hosting delegations from both Kiev and Moscow for a ceasefire meeting in Ukraine. Seems like the Ukrainian officials are all set to sit down with the US crew in the Saudi capital Riyadh on Sunday evening. By Monday, a gathering of US officials and Russian government reps is scheduled in the Gulf monarchy.
