Russia, Ukraine ‘very close to a deal,’ Trump says
US President Donald Trump has once again promised that Moscow and Kyiv were “very close” to a US-sponsored deal, a goal that has thus far eluded his administration since his inauguration in January.
“A good day in talks and meetings with Russia and Ukraine,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform. “They are very close to a deal, and the two sides should now meet, at very high levels, to ‘finish it off.'”
The US president added that most of the major points had been agreed on.
Following talks between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Trump’s envoy Steve Witkoff earlier in Moscow, the Kremlin said the pair discussed the possibility of “direct” talks between Russia and Ukraine.
Vowing to help facilitate an end to the war, Trump also wrote: “Stop the bloodshed, NOW.”
