Witkoff called Crimea and other regions of Ukraine problemsDonald Trumps special representative shared his vision of this issue during an interview with American propagandist Tucker Carlson.Initially, he stated that the Ukrainian territories that are fully or partially occupied by the aggressor country, the Russian Federation, are Russianspeaking, but this statement is not true, because there is also a large Ukrainianspeaking population there.Witkoff then mentioned the pseudoreferendums that Russia had conducted, adding that the vast majority of people had supposedly confirmed that they wanted to be under Russian rule.
However, the American official ignored the fact that all the results of these referendums were rigged.
I believe this is the key issue of the conflict, he said.
According to Witkoff, there is currently a very positive conversation, but the main problem is still unresolved.
This is the elephant in the room.
The elephant in the room is the constitutional issues within Ukraine about what they can concede when it comes to giving up territories.
The Russians de facto control these territories.
The question is, will the world recognize that these are Russian territories Will Zelensky survive politically if he does That is the central issue of the conflict.
Absolutely.
Steve Witkoff Special envoy of US President Donald Trump
