US president Donald Trump has urged Kremlin and Kyiv to meet to “finish” a deal to end the Ukraine War, declaring major points had now been agreed to in a day of peace talks that coincided with the bombing of a Russian general.
Trump said a deal was “very close” and demanded both sides “stop the bloodshed, NOW” in a late night post on his Truth Social platform on Friday following a meeting between Russian president Vladimir Putin and US envoy Steve Witkoff.
