Doha is gauging the diplomatic mechanics of the day: an updated American proposal being put to Putin, following up on Oslo, to pave the way for direct three-way talks.
What each one tells
opposition
United States
The United States views the episode through the lens of domestic politics: the release of Stephen Hubbard becomes a presidential victory, while the word "humanitarian" addressed to Putin by Steve Witkoff fuels controversy.
