“We had a very good and productive discussion with Russian President Vladimir Putin yesterday. It’s very likely that this horrible, bloody war will finally end,” Trump said in the true social post, adding that Putin had called for the lives of the “completely surrounded” Ukrainian troops.
US envoy Steve Witkov held a lengthy meeting with Putin in Moscow on Thursday night, a source explained on the issue, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said.
The Truth Social Post didn’t say whether Trump and Putin spoke to each other or not.
But Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Putin used the meeting to convey “signals” to Trump through Witkov. He said Russia and the United States will resolve the timing of calls between the president after Witkov explained to Trump.
The US president told Moscow and Kiev he wanted to agree to suspend the fight in the conflict he warned.
