US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin are set to discuss a potential ceasefire in Ukraine in the coming days. Steve Witcoff, the US envoy, met with Putin in Moscow on Thursday and expects a call between the two leaders to take place this week. He also mentioned that US negotiators will meet with counterparts from both Ukraine and Russia in the coming week. Witcoff expressed hope that progress can be made and a deal reached in the coming weeks. During his election campaign, Trump had promised to end the war, which began with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022, on “day one” of his administration.
