Trump Sending Envoy Witkoff To Meet Putin As Peace Talks Appear To Gain Momentum
US President Donald Trump said he is sending special envoy Steve Witkoff to Moscow to meet President Vladimir Putin over a peace deal with Ukraine that Kyiv says it it ready "to move forward" on as some final "sensitive" points are ironed out.
According to Ukraine, the parties agreed on key points of the agreement around the talks in Geneva.
Most of the items of the plan to end Russia's war with Ukraine, proposed by the US President Donald Trump's administration, were agreed upon and announced by Caroline Levitte, the White House Press Secretary.
The White House spokesman rejects criticism of unilateral negotiations. Ukraine's President Selenskyy wants to discuss the "heaviest points" himself with Trump.
