US President Donald Trump said Wednesday there was a “very good prospect” of a summit meeting soon with Russia that could lead to an end to the war in Ukraine.

Russian President Vladimir Putin held talks with U.S. President Donald Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff in Moscow on Wednesday, the Kremlin said, days before the White House’s deadline for Russia to reach a peace deal with Ukraine or potentially face severe economic penalties that could also hit countries buying its oil.

Zelenskyy renewed his call to meet with Putin — which he says is the only way to make progress towards peace. The Russian leader said it's not the right time.
