Trump, Putin likely to speak this week

President Trump may speak to Russian leader Vladimir Putin over the phone this week, White House special envoy

Steve Witkoff

said Sunday, as the US pushes for a ceasefire to end the war in Ukraine.
"We're also continuing to engage and have conversation with the Ukrainians," he added. Witkoff met with Putin in Moscow last week. Witkoff said of his conversation with Putin, "It was positive, it was a solution-based discussion," he said. "He accepts the philosophy of President Trump. Trump really expects there to be some sort of deal in the coming weeks and I believe that's the case," Witkoff added.
