President Trump has made Witkoff his de facto envoy to Russian president Vladimir Putin.[31] By March 2025, Witkoff had become the main channel of communication between the Trump administration and the Russian presidency.[50] Lacking formal training in diplomacy, he conducted key meetings in ways that breached standard diplomatic protocol, raising concerns about the accuracy, trustworthiness, and effectiveness of such engagements.

![On February 11, 2025, Trump sent Witkoff to Moscow, where he met with President Putin and was responsible for the negotiations that led to a prisoner swap and the release of U.S. citizen Marc Fogel from a Russian prison, in exchange for Russian citizen Alexander Vinnik. Witkoff said that Putin and Trump "had a great friendship, and I think now it's going to continue, and it's a really good thing for the world".[54][55] Witkoff said he "spent a lot of time with Putin" during the secret trip and had developed a "friendship and relationship" with Putin.[56]

In 2018, Witkoff opposed sanctions against Russia for its occupation of Crimea.[31]
Witkoff has praised Russian president Putin and has appeared to support Russian government claims about its war against Ukraine.[59][61] He said that Russia's invasion of Ukraine was "not necessarily" started by Russia, that NATO had a significant role in provoking the conflict, and that most Eastern Ukrainians want to live under Russian rule.[72]
Witkoff said he is certain that Putin is not going to invade Europe and is not interested in the rest of Ukraine other than the annexed southeastern Ukraine.[73]
