Prisoner swap building up confidence between US, Russia -— Trump’s special envoy Witkoff

US President Donald Trump’s special envoy for the Middle East Steven Witkoff expects build-up of confidence between Washington and Moscow after Russian national Alexander Vinnik was released in exchange for US national Marc Fogel.

"We had a really good back channel, and it turned out to be very, very credible and enormously helpful. And that led to, I think, a lot of trust building candidly between the Trump administration and President [of Russian Vladimir] Putin," Witkoff said in an interview aired by the Fox News TV channel.

He also suggested that the exchange that just took place, will probably "pay some large dividends in the future," including in settlement of the Ukraine conflict.
