Donald Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff said today that Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed at Friday’s Alaska peace summit to allow U.S. and European allies to grant Ukraine security protections similar to NATO’s collective defense mandate as part of an impending deal to end the war.

“We were able to win the following concession: That the United States could offer Article 5-like protection, which is one of the real reasons why Ukraine wants to be in NATO,” Witkoff said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

The special envoy added that it “was the first time we had ever heard the Russians agree to that.” When pressed on why Trump was unsuccessful in pressing Russia to agree to an immediate cease-fire in the more than three-and-a-half-year long war, Witkoff said the president had pivoted towards securing a peace deal after making so much progress at the Alaska summit.

In an interview with Fox News following the US-Russia summit in Alaska, Trump was asked what advice he had for the Ukrainian leader, to which he replied: "Make a deal."

He added: "Russia's a very big power and they're not."

Good Night, Patriots!
