Putin SUDDENLY Erupts In Rage While Responding To US Leak Scandal; ‘If You Are Ready To Deal With…’

Russian President Vladimir Putin reacted to the leaked Witkoff–Ushakov phone tapes, suggesting the recordings may be fabricated—or the product of illegal spying. Speaking after the CSTO summit, Putin said the leaks likely reflect intense “struggle of opinions” inside Washington over how to end the Ukraine war. He revealed that his discussions with U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff and President Trump had shown “mutual understanding,” before sudden U.S. sanctions disrupted the process. Putin defended Witkoff, saying he behaved respectfully and represented U.S. interests as instructed. He stressed that dialogue with Washington is difficult but still civil, with both sides firmly defending their positions.
