Witkoff Meets Putin: the Upshot?
European and international media criticize Donald Trump’s Ukraine mediation efforts, warning that his envoy Steve Witkoff’s praise of Vladimir Putin undermines diplomatic credibility.

They stress that Ukraine will resist surrender, while doubts grow over Trump’s motives, security guarantees and prospects for lasting peace.
