Witkoff to Putin: “He is a 75-year-old-man and you talk so much about about my president, President Trump, being a humanitarian, you are a humanitarian also sir, and I salute that.”
First Witkoff lines out of Putin meeting, per Russian wires:
- says talks in Oslo were productive with some progress made;
- hopes trilateral Russia-Ukraine-US talks can restart, asks Putin to consider this;
- says there is potential for US-Russia economic relations to develop once Ukraine conflict ends;
- thanks Putin for the “diesel deal” on behalf of Donald Trump, and for freeing retired American teacher Stephen Hubbard from Russian jail

New: Cornell's Jane Doe is holed up at home, terrified and receiving death threats, her attorney told me.
She has taped over her windows out of fear a gunman could target her.
And I obtained police reports from a bogus tip that caused cops to swarm her home this week: 🧵

I spoke to former Pussy Riot activist Rita Flores, who recently admitted she had been forced to collaborate with the FSB for the past three years, on her life as an informant, how the FSB runs agents, and the sad state of the wartime Moscow art scene.

The May 9 parade, a sacred ritual for Putin, will take place on Red Square without military vehicles, featuring only a marching column. According to sources, several hundred guests, rather than the usual thousands, attended. The whole performance will last less than an hour. The propaganda machine will claim that this was the plan all along, and it has nothing to do with drones.

We received signals from partners in the Middle East. There have been strikes by Iranian “shaheds” on civilians in those countries. They are seeking our expertise. We are open. If their representatives come, we will provide the expertise. Especially since there is also a request from Europeans and from the United States. Requests have come to us to share our experience with partners in the Middle East.
Regarding weapons: we ourselves are at war. And I said, completely frankly, that we have a shortage of what they have. They have missiles for the Patriots, but hundreds or thousands of “shaheds” cannot be intercepted with Patriot missiles – it is too costly. Nothing is too much for the people, of course, but they simply do not have that many missiles. That is why they need interceptor drones, which we have. Meanwhile, we have a shortage of PAC-2 and PAC-3 missiles. So, when it comes to technology or weapons exchange, I believe our country will be open to it.
