April 15, 2025 (EIRNS)—Both Presidential Special Envoy Steven Witkoff and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov are laboring mightily to attempt to normalize Russian-American relations. “President of the United States Donald Trump has said many times already that the decision by the Joe Biden administration to drag this country Ukraine into NATO was a major mistake," said Lavrov in an interview with Kommersant on April 14. Of his April 11 discussion with President Putin, Witkoff told Fox News:”I think we might be on the verge of something that would be very, very important for the world at large."
