Cross-post from The Counteroffensive with Tim Mak
I joined forces with the incredible team at The Counteroffensive for a hard-hitting investigation that raises serious questions about deep financial ties between Trump’s Special Envoy, Steve Witkoff, and Kremlin-connected oligarch sanctioned by Ukraine. Turns out, Witkoff isn’t just brokering a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine — his company also has business dealings with billionaire Len Blavatnik. This piece unpacks what’s been hiding in plain sight, and gets to the heart of what’s really at stake. For those who appreciate this kind of in-depth reporting, stay tuned for more insights. -
