Trump Envoy Meets Putin as Ukraine Ceasefire Talks Progress

Steve Witkoff, U.S. Special Envoy, discusses potential peace terms with Vladimir Putin, though key disagreements remain unresolved.

U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff met with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow for over three hours to discuss a potential Ukraine ceasefire agreement.
Reports of Witkoff waiting eight hours to meet Putin were denied by President Trump, who called the claims 'fake news' and criticized the media for misrepresentation.
Witkoff described the talks as 'solution-based' and noted progress, though significant gaps remain between Russian and Ukrainian positions on territorial issues.
President Trump and Ukrainian President Zelensky have proposed a ceasefire plan, but Russia has yet to agree, raising concerns about Putin's commitment to peace.
Trump emphasized optimism about the discussions, with Witkoff set to brief Trump and senior officials, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, on the next steps.
