US President Donald Trump and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin will speak in the coming days, as negotiations continue on the possible ceasefire in the three -year war in Ukraine.
US Messenger Steve Witcooff, who met with Putin on Thursday in Moscow, said CNN that it expects that “this week will be a call with both presidents.”
“We also continue to engage and talk to the Ukrainians,” he added. “We advise them about everything we think.”
Last week, the US and Ukraine agreed to offer Russia a 30-day ceasefire. While Putin said he supported the ceasefire, he also posted a list of hard conditions to achieve peace.
In an interview on Sunday, Vitkoff said: “I think this week will have a really good and positive discussion this week.”
He also said that next week teams from US negotiating participants with colleagues from both Ukraine and Russia.
Vitkoff added that he believes that the transaction will be reached “in the following weeks”.
“I very much hope we will see some progress here,” he said.
During his election campaign, Trump repeatedly promised to stop the war, which began with a full -scale invasion of Russia into a neighbor in 2022, in the “first” new administration.
Less than a month after the opening, Trump called Putin, which reportedly covered 90 minutes About the immediate start of the negotiations to end the war.
Vitkoff refused to answer the question of how Russian land occupied in Ukraine could be resolved in a potential transaction. Currently, Russia controls a fifth of Ukraine.
The messenger said Trump actively participated in diplomatic forward and back.
As an example, Vitkoff said that he “had a meeting with Putin within five-10 minutes on Thursday, he returned to the US Embassy to a short Trump, as well as Vice President J. D. Vens, Chief of Staff of the White House Susie Wils and National Security Advisor Mike Waltz.
“So the president receives real -time updates everything that happens, and he is involved in every important solution,” he said.
