"Bloomberg News published the transcript yesterday of a leaked phone call between special envoy Steve Witkoff and one of Russian President Vladimir Putin's top aides, in which Witkoff appears to offer advice on how to flatter President Trump. If they want to know how to talk to Trump, they should ask Zohran, he jibed, rolling to a photo of Trump beaming at Mamdani during Friday's Oval Office presser."
"The transcript captures an October conversation between Witkoff and Putin foreign-policy aide Yuri Ushakov. In it, Witkoff appears to sketch out a peace deal that would force Ukraine to surrender control of Donetsk, a long-standing red line for Kyiv. Bloomberg reported that Witkoff urged Moscow to frame any proposal with praise, advising that Putin congratulate Trump and hail him as a man of peace."
Bloomberg News released a transcript of a leaked October call between special envoy Steve Witkoff and Putin aide Yuri Ushakov outlining negotiation tactics. Witkoff appears to propose a peace plan that would require Ukraine to surrender control of Donetsk, a significant red line for Kyiv. Witkoff reportedly told Moscow to present any proposal with praise, recommending that Putin congratulate and describe President Trump as a man of peace. President Trump defended Witkoff's call as standard negotiations despite not having heard it. The leak comes as Kyiv faces a November 27 deadline to accept a U.S.-backed plan viewed as favoring Moscow.
