Donald Trump’s envoy Steve Witkoff dismissed UK PM Keir Starmer’s plan for an international force in Ukraine as “a posture and a pose.” In an interview with Tucker Carlson, he praised Vladimir Putin, calling him “super smart” and denying Russia’s territorial aggression. Witkoff, leading US ceasefire talks, repeated Kremlin narratives, questioned Ukraine’s legitimacy, and failed to name occupied regions. He claimed a Black Sea ceasefire is imminent. Meanwhile, Russian drone strikes on Kyiv killed three, including a child. Ukraine dismissed his claims as misinformation. (PC: Reuters)
