Listen "Witkoff's art of the deal? Trump aide coaches Kremlin on Ukraine deal response"

Episode Synopsis

The peace plan that read like it had been written by the Kremlin and that called for Ukraine to surrender land, cut back its military and give up any notion of NATO membership was already raising worried eyebrows. Now, in light of a recorded phone call between US envoy Steve Witkoff and Russian presidential advisor Yuri Ushakov, the concern about the closeness of the Trump administration to Vladimir Putin and the Kremlin has hit a new point of alarm. Is this the art of the deal, or a sellout? Produced by Mark Owen, Rebecca Gnignati, Charles Wente, Ilayda Habip & Jean-Vincent Russo
