US President Donald Trump says he is sending envoy Steve Witkoff to meet with Russia’s Vladimir Putin in Moscow to iron out “a few” remaining differences over a deal to end the Ukraine war.
“In the hopes of finalizing this Peace Plan, I have directed my Special Envoy Steve Witkoff to meet with President Putin in Moscow,” Trump writes on his Truth Social platform, saying there are “only a few remaining points of disagreement.”
He also expresses hope to meet “soon” with Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, “but ONLY when the deal to end this War is FINAL or, in its final stages,” Trump adds.
