US envoy Steve Witkoff met Vladimir Putin in St Petersburg on Friday, as Donald Trump urged the Russian president to “get moving” on a ceasefire in Ukraine. The Kremlin said the meeting lasted for more than four hours and focused on “aspects of a Ukrainian settlement”. The talks, Witkoff’s third with Putin this year, were described by special envoy Kirill Dmitriev as “productive”.
Earlier, Trump had written on social media: “Russia has to get moving. Too many people are dying, thousands a week, in a terrible and senseless war.” It comes as Trump’s Ukraine envoy Keith Kellogg denied suggesting the country could be partitioned.
