Against the backdrop of criticism of Witkoff regarding his personal meetings with Putin without translators or escorts, he stated that he sees this as an effective diplomatic strategy, not a mistake. 

In addition, he noted that it was the Trump administration that instructed him to intervene in order to correct the inefficiency of previous negotiations.

I think the president (Trump, -ed.) wants things done differently. He wants a more proactive approach. He wants people to go out on the battlefield. My meetings with Vladimir Putin - no outsiders were invited. Should I have said to Vladimir Putin: "I don't want to start a dialogue with you, I don't want to have a relationship with you"? Biden hasn't spoken to him in three and a half years. On the instructions of the president, I had the opportunity to contact President Putin. He is a central actor in this conflict. If we don't talk to him, how do we think we can ever achieve a solution? It's not even possible. So the idea that we shouldn't talk to him is absurd, or that I should talk to him and make these negotiations conditional on bringing a translator or other people there. I didn't need anyone there. In fact, it was better to be there alone, and then upload our leadership, our foreign policy team, after that
