oh great so an unvetted and completely unqualified person with no appropriate security clearance, unconfirmed by Congress to be a diplomat, is having these conversations to extort an ally of the United States. Witkoff is a threat to national security. He’s one step removed from Hanssen or Ames.
⚡️'Donetsk and maybe a land swap' —Witkoff promised Russian aides he could sway Trump, pressure Ukraine into peace deal in secret phone recording.

On one side of my family we have zero knowledge of our lineage before my grandpa. There was just nobody left to ask. He wasn’t even sure if his last name was real or made up. And there’s a story like this in almost every Ukrainian household.
