Steve Witkoff : "I don't regard Putin as a bad guy" "I believe the heart of the conflict is Russia 's desire to control four regions of Ukraine it has claimed annexed since 2022 ," he said.
He also suggested Russia had a right to the regions in eastern and southern Ukraine because they were majority Russian -speaking.
Russia conducted referenda in Ukraine 's Donetsk , Luhansk , Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions in the fall of 2022 , several months after seizing them.
The referenda were widely dismissed by Western powers, human rights organizations and international bodies.
Witkoff was effusive in his praise for Putin , calling him a "very smart guy" He said he " 100% believes Russia does not want to invade Europe .
Putin told him he prayed for Trump after the assassination attempt against him during last year’s presidential campaign.
