Trump envoy Witkoff meets Putin in St. Petersburg for Ukraine war talks

  • On Wednesday, United States envoy Steve Witkoff met Russian President Vladimir Putin at the Constantine Palace in St. Petersburg to discuss ending the war in Ukraine, as President Donald Trump pushes for a peace settlement.
  • The visit followed Tuesday's meetings in Oslo, where Witkoff held discussions with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and European leaders, describing those talks as "productive" with "some degree of momentum."
  • President Trump expressed frustration Tuesday at the Oval Office, telling reporters he wants Zelenskyy to make a deal, warning that without one, "I think it's going to be a very bad thing."
  • Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated Tuesday that Moscow is willing to listen to new US proposals regarding Ukraine, though he does not expect any "miracle" from Washington.
  • Efforts to end the war have struggled, as armies remain locked on the battlefield and Russia strengthens ties with China, including recent vetoes of US proposals to monitor sanctions on Iran.
