US President Donald Trump has praised as “good and productive” talks held with Russian President Vladimir Putin on the US-proposed ceasefire deal in Ukraine.

 

This comes after Putin and US envoy Steve Witkoff met in Moscow, after which the Kremlin said it shared the US “cautious optimism” over a peace process.

 

Trump said in a post that the talks provided a very good chance that the horrible, bloody war can finally come to an end.
