The US President Donald Trump's envoy Steve Witkoff says that Trump and Russia's Vladimir Putin are expected to discuss Ukraine during the coming week.
The two presidents will have a really good and positive conversation during the week, predicts Witkoff in an interview with CNN.
At the same time, the talks between the US and Ukraine continue, he adds. Witkoff acknowledges that the situation is "complicated", but he is hopeful:
We are bridging the gap between the two countries, he says.
On Thursday evening, the US envoy Steve Witkoff met President Vladimir Putin in Moscow to propose a 30-day ceasefire in the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine.
Putin announced on Thursday that he has major reservations about agreeing to a ceasefire.
