Trump’s Backchannel to Putin: Peace Deal in Works While Ukraine Watches in Silence | US-Russia Talks
In a highly secretive meeting, Vladimir Putin met Trump’s close envoy Steve Witkoff in St.
Petersburg, marking their third encounter since February.
Talks reportedly focused on ending the Ukraine war and restoring U.S.-Russia relations, sparking rumors of a historic shift in diplomacy.
Witkoff has become Trump’s trusted backchannel, with past negotiations already producing a prisoner swap.
With whispers of a Trump-Putin summit and Ukraine excluded from key discussions, concerns rise over whether peace may come at the cost of Ukrainian sovereignty.

Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff expressed optimism ahead of the former president’s phone call with Vladimir Putin, calling it a potential “success” that could help end the Ukraine conflict. This follows the first direct Russia-Ukraine talks in three years, which saw a prisoner exchange and renewed ceasefire discussions. Witkoff said Trump aims for a stable truce and final peace deal, warning that if diplomacy stalls, “crushing sanctions” await Moscow. Putin, however, insists talks must address NATO concerns and that Ukraine must halt mobilization and weapons inflow to ensure a lasting ceasefire.

Survivors of Hamas captivity are calling on Prime Minister Netanyahu, President Trump, and envoy Steve Witkoff to act urgently following Edan Alexander's release. In a passionate letter signed by 65 former hostages, they urged leaders not to waste the moment and to halt military action if it means saving the remaining captives. While Trump negotiates new Middle East deals, pressure mounts to prioritize the hostages. With several Americans still held or declared dead, the plea emphasizes cross-border urgency. Netanyahu’s office has not responded to the emotional appeal for a comprehensive deal.

President Donald Trump has dismissed National Security Adviser Mike Waltz following a significant security lapse dubbed "Signalgate." The incident involved Waltz inadvertently including journalist Jeffrey Goldberg in a Signal group chat discussing sensitive U.S. military plans in Yemen, leading to widespread criticism and concerns over national security breaches. In the wake of this controversy, Steve Witkoff, a real estate developer and Trump's special envoy for Middle East negotiations, is reportedly being considered as Waltz's replacement .

U.S Special Envoy Steve Witkoff recently met Russian President Vladimir Putin in a bid to persuade Russia for a ceasefire deal in Ukraine. This was the 4th such meeting in just over 2 months, but there seems to be no breakthrough yet as Putin remains firm recognition of Russia's control over Crimea and the four regions under Russian control since 2022. With peace talks stalling, could a Putin-Trump summit be the only path forward?

A confidential U.S. peace proposal to end the Ukraine war was secretly presented by envoy Steve Witkoff to European officials in Paris on April 17, 2025. The leaked plan includes a permanent ceasefire, Ukraine’s NATO exit, U.S. recognition of Crimea as Russian territory, and economic benefits for both Kyiv and Moscow. Ukraine would regain limited territory and receive financial aid, while Russia would benefit from lifted sanctions. The plan, labeled Washington’s “final offer,” signals a dramatic shift in U.S. diplomacy. Both Russia and Ukraine have yet to issue formal responses.

SCHUMER vs TRUMP: Senator Chuck Schumer is under fire after suggesting that a Trump-era hiring freeze may have contributed to a tragic Mexican Navy ship crash at the Brooklyn Bridge that killed two cadets. Schumer pointed to weakened Coast Guard staffing as a potential cause, linking it to national security concerns. However, the Department of Homeland Security dismissed his claims, saying the Coast Guard was exempt and fully operational. Conservatives and media figures blasted Schumer’s remarks as baseless and political, with Fox News’ Mark Levin calling him “stupid and evil.”

A firestorm erupts after former FBI Director James Comey's beach photo featuring “8647” seashells goes viral. Trump allies claim the numbers are a coded call to assassinate Donald Trump — with “86” meaning “to kill” and “47” referencing Trump as the 47th president. Conservative activist Laura Loomer slams Amazon and Jeff Bezos for selling “8647”-branded caps, calling them “assassination gear.” Comey denies the allegations, but MAGA influencers aren’t buying it.
