Gershkovich Says Putin Seeks His Terms, Not a Deal

Wall Street Journal foreign correspondent Evan Gershkovich said in an interview with Bloomberg that Russian President Vladimir Putin is focused on securing his specific demands regarding Ukraine rather than reaching a compromise through negotiations. Gershkovich, who was released after 16 months in Russian custody, questioned whether the Trump administration fully understood Putin's negotiating approach. U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff previously described Putin as a "humanitarian" following the release of Stephen Hubbard.
