Zelensky accuses US envoy Witkoff of spreading Russian narratives

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has accused US envoy Steve Witkoff of "spreading Russian narratives" after the American diplomat made controversial comments about occupied parts of Ukraine.

Speaking during a press conference on Thursday, Zelensky accused Witkoff of adopting the "strategy of the Russian side," CNN writes . 

"I think it's very dangerous because he consciously or unconsciously, I don't know, is spreading the Russian narrative. In any case, it doesn't help," he said.

Witkoff promoted his recent talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin - his third meeting with the Russian leader - in an interview with Fox News on Monday, describing the meeting as "compelling."

Witkoff told Fox News that any peace deal in Ukraine would focus on the "so-called five territories," referring to Crimea, the Ukrainian peninsula annexed in 2014, and the four mainland regions of Ukraine that Russia has occupied since its full-scale invasion in 2022 - Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhia.

These four regions were illegally annexed during Russia's full-scale invasion, and Kiev strongly opposes giving them up. The Kremlin has since organized referendums on reunification with Russia in those regions, which were widely dismissed as a fraud by the international community.
