"I think he might be helping them a little bit, yeah, I guess, and he probably thinks we're helping Ukraine, right? Yeah, we're helping them also, and so he says that, and China would say the same thing, you know. It's like, hey, they do it and we do it, in all fairness. They do it and we do it."
"You know, we can take them at their word, he told CNBC. That's a better question for the intel people, but let's hope that they're not sharing. Witkoff said Russia dismissed the reports about their involvement as false during the call. Yesterday on the call with the president, the Russians said that they have not been sharing."
"White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reports this week that Trump and Witkoff told Russian officials during the call that if that was taking place, it's not something they would be happy with, and they hope that it is not taking place."
Trump acknowledged that Russian President Putin is probably helping Iran with targeting and drone tactics during a Fox News radio interview. When asked directly about reports of Russian assistance to Iran, Trump suggested Putin might be helping them while noting that the U.S. similarly aids Ukraine. Trump framed this as reciprocal geopolitical behavior, stating both countries engage in such practices. However, U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff conveyed a different message earlier in the week, reporting that Putin denied providing assistance to Iran during a call with Trump. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated that Trump and Witkoff communicated to Russian officials that such assistance would be unwelcome.
