President Donald Trump vowed to get a ‘completed and signed’ ceasefire deal between Russia and Ukraine, warning ‘millions’ will die if the fighting doesn’t end.
Trump’s envoy Steve Witkoff held a late night meeting with Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Thursday after the Russian president showed resistance to a ceasefire.
Witkoff ‘presented additional information to the Russian side’ and Putin ‘passed along information and additional signals for President Trump,’ in that meeting, Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskov said.
Trump made his stance clear. He called the situation a ‘real’ mess but vowed to ‘get us out.’
‘Millions of people are needlessly dead, never to be seen again…and there will be many more to follow if we don’t get the Cease Fire and Final Agreement with Russia completed and signed,’ the president wrote on his Truth Social account on Friday morning.
In a second post he revealed that the U.S. had a ‘very good and productive discussions with President Vladimir Putin of Russia yesterday, and there is a very good chance that this horrible, bloody war can finally come to an end.’
