"I think that decision will start with security guarantees. They want to make sure this never happens to them again, and that's how they should be thinking," he added.
Witkoff said that in negotiations, the US role is to bridge the gap between Ukraine and Russia enough so that they can engage in talks. He continued that Trump "has a clear idea of what Ukraine needs to compromise and convince the Russians."
