Lavrov Praises US Negotiators Witkoff and Kushner as Pragmatic in Talks

Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov publicly praised U.S. negotiators Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner for being pragmatic and not demanding 'the impossible' in ongoing negotiations. This marks a notable softening in Russian rhetoric toward U.S. interlocutors, suggesting potential progress in diplomatic channels. The statement is a signal of possible flexibility, though concrete outcomes remain uncertain.
