YouTube Description
as posted by the channelUS President Donald Trump ramped up pressure on Russia in his bid to secure a ceasefire over its war in Ukraine on the same day that an American envoy was meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
“Russia has to get moving,” Trump wrote in a post to his social media platform on Friday, bemoaning the death toll and calling it a “terrible and senseless war.”
Putin has begun talks with US special envoy Steve Witkoff in St. Petersburg, the state-run Tass news service reported, citing the Kremlin’s press service.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said earlier the meeting with Witkoff was a good opportunity to communicate Russia’s positions to Trump, though he cautioned against expectations for a breakthrough, the Interfax news service reported.
This is the third time that Putin has held talks with Witkoff, who’s become a key intermediary in Trump’s attempts to bring an end to Russia’s war in Ukraine. Both previous visits were followed by phone calls between the two presidents.
