‘Great progress made’ at Putin-Witkoff meeting – Trump

The American president has described the talks in Moscow as “very productive”

US President Donald Trump praised the outcome of a meeting between his Russia counterpart, Vladimir Putin, and US special envoy Steve Witkoff, calling it “very productive.”

Both sides will work on ending the Ukraine conflict “in the days and weeks to come,” the American leader wrote in a post on Truth Social on Wednesday.

According to Trump, “great progress” was achieved at the meeting in Moscow earlier in the day.

He said he had updated some of America’s allies in Europe on its results but provided no further details. “Everyone agrees” the Ukraine conflict should come to an end, he stated.

Commenting on the meeting, Kremlin aide Yury Ushakov said that Putin and Witkoff had exchanged “signals.”

“Some signals were transmitted on the Ukrainian issue” by Putin, and “corresponding signals were also received from President Trump,” he told journalists.
