I am going over there with an expectation that we are going to make substantial progress,

Witkoff told Fox News

Therefore, it is crucial to continue to do our best to protect lives, strengthen our air defences, and increase sanctions against Russia. Everything that helps (Vladimir) Putin finance the war must collapse,
