Trump says US envoy Witkoff’s meeting with Putin was ‘highly productive’

United States President Donald Trump has said that his special envoy Steve Witkoff held a “highly productive meeting” with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow, days before the White House’s deadline for Russia to reach a peace deal with Ukraine or face punitive economic sanctions.
“Great progress was made!” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform on Wednesday, adding that he had briefed some European allies afterwards.
