I thought he was straight up with me,&#8221; Witkoff said in the interview aired Friday.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t regard Putin as a bad guy. That is a complicated situation, that war, and all the ingredients that led up to it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He also described a &#8220;personal&#8221; element of the discussion in which Putin recalled his reaction to the assassination attempt on Trump in July 2024 as the Republican held a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n<p>Putin &#8220;told me a story&#8230; about how when the president was shot, he went to his local church and met with his priest and prayed for the president,&#8221; Witkoff said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Not because&#8230; he could become the president of the United States, but because he had a friendship with him and he was praying for his friend.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Putin had commissioned a &#8220;beautiful portrait of President Trump from a leading Russian artist,&#8221; and asked the envoy to take it home to Trump, Witkoff added.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It was such a gracious moment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Witkoff&#8217;s gushing praise of a president long seen by the United States as an autocratic adversary highlights the dramatic turn in Washington&#8217;s approach to dealings with the Kremlin since Trump took office for a second presidential term.<\/p>\n<p>Witkoff also said Ukraine&#8217;s Volodymyr Zelensky was facing tough choices ahead and that the president should recognize it is time for him to &#8220;get a deal done&#8221; with Moscow.<\/p>\n<p>Zelensky is &#8220;in a very, very difficult situation, but he&#8217;s up against a nuclear nation,&#8221; Witkoff said. &#8220;So he&#8217;s got to know that he&#8217;s going to get ground down. Now is the best time for him to get a deal done.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Witkoff&#8217;s comments essentially were delivered on friendly ground. Carlson is a controversial former <a href=\"https:\/\/fortune.com\/company\/fox\/\" target=\"_blank\">Fox<\/a> News star who conducted what was widely considered to be a rare but soft interview with Putin last year.<\/p>\n<p>Carlson has also been a leading propagator of pro-Kremlin narratives in the United States.<\/p>\n<p>This story was originally featured on <a href=\"https:\/\/fortune.com\/2025\/03\/22\/trumps-special-envoy-steve-witkoff-russias-ukraine-war-putin-not-bad-guy\/\" target=\"_blank\">Fortune.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>White House envoy Steve Witkoff has praised Vladimir Putin in glowing terms as trustworthy and said the Russian leader told him he had prayed for his &#8220;friend&#8221; US President Donald Trump when he was shot.
