I spent lot of time with Putin, developing friendship - Witkoff
US Special Envoy for Middle East Affairs Steve Witkoff said that during his visit to Moscow to rescue American teacher Marc Fogel, he spent a lot of time with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin and became friends with him.
According to Censor.NET, he was quoted by Sky News.
He noted that Fogel was released thanks to Trump's support and good relations with Saudi Arabia, whose representatives assured the United States that it was possible.
"I spent a lot of time with President Putin, talking, developing a friendship, a relationship with him and that led to Mark getting on the plane…," Witkoff said.
