US President Donald Trump expressed confidence in a potential deal between Russia and Ukraine, stating that they are "very close to a deal" to end their three-year war. This statement came after his envoy, Steve Witkoff, met with President Vladimir Putin in talks that Moscow described as "constructive and very useful."
Trump took to Truth Social to share his optimism, mentioning that the two sides should now meet at high levels to finalize the deal. These discussions come at a critical time, as Kyiv and Moscow have not engaged in direct talks since the early stages of Moscow's invasion in February 2022.
Witkoff's meeting with Putin in the Kremlin lasted three hours and was described as "constructive and very useful" by Russian presidential aide Yuri Ushakov. The discussions aimed to bring the Russian and US positions closer, not only on Ukraine but also on various international issues.
