Steve Witkoff described his meeting with the Russian president as positive

The presidents of Russia and the US might have a call this week to agree on a ceasefire in the Ukraine conflict, Steve Witkoff, Donald Trump's special envoy, has said. Speaking on CNN on Sunday, Witkoff said he had a "positive" meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin that lasted between three and four hours.

Witkoff arrived in Moscow on Thursday to present Russian President Vladimir Putin with the details of the truce proposal agreed by American and Ukrainian officials.

"We had some really positive results coming out of Saudi Arabia, discussions led by our National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, and our Secretary of State Marco Rubio. I describe my conversation with President Putin as equally positive," the envoy said. "Back before this visit, there was another visit, and before that visit the two sides were miles apart in where they were. The two sides are today a lot closer."
