Russian opposition journalist shares his fears about Witkoff

Translating from the Dialog, Aug 4:

"Nacke voiced "scary news" from Washington: "And failed every mission" 

Michael Nacke spoke about Witkoff's trip to Russia, which could dramatically change Trump's position on the war.

Michael Nacke warned that Trump could dramatically change his position on the war in Ukraine after Witkoff's trip to Russia. The US president is so unpredictable and prone to falling under someone else's influence that such a turn of events is entirely possible. 

The political scientist expressed his concerns about Witkoff's visit to Moscow: "The problem is that this guy has done nothing but repeat Putin's propaganda, violate security protocols, and fail every mission he's been sent on. Whether that will be the case this time and whether his trip will change Trump's position 180 degrees remains to be seen," explained Michael Nacke."

Update: Nacke was spot on. Translating from tosay's opinion by Sergiy Fursa in the Obozrevatel:

"How did it happen that "if Putin doesn't stop the aggression, I'll introduce sanctions" transformed into "Ukraine must pull its troops out from its territories and then we'll talk"? One would never think that negotiations from the positions of force look like this. It is already Aug. 9, and the only one under sanctions is Modi, because he is standing between Trump and the Nobel prize..."
