Special Envoy of the President of the United States Stephen Witkoff resorted to the help of a personal interpreter during negotiations with Russian President Vladimir Putin. This was reported on August 6 by CNN.

It is noted that Witkoff previously relied on Russian translators. This, according to CNN, was the first time Witkoff brought in a personal assistant.
