On August 6, Samantha Vinograd, nonresident senior fellow at the Adrienne Arsht National Security Resilience Initiative, appeared on CBS News to discuss US special envoy Steve Witkoff’s meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin as the Trump administration pushes Russia to agree to a ceasefire with Ukraine.
