Ukraine war live: Trump envoy Steve Witkoff set to meet Vladimir Putin in Moscow amid US push for peace deal
"As Warren Murray reports in today's Ukraine war briefing, Zelenskyy said in Paris that he hoped to have talks with Donald Trump to discuss next steps once Steve Witkoff was back from his talks in Russia. Zelenskyy also said that after revisions the peace plan circulating between Ukraine, Russia and Washington looks better and the work would continue. But as mentioned, the European Union is warning that the Putin-Wifkoff talks will again pile pressure on Ukraine to make concessions."
"The EU's foreign policy chief, Kaja Kallas, said: In order to have peace, we shouldn't lose focus that it's actually Russia who has started this war and Russia that is continuing this war and Russia that is really targeting civilians, civilian infrastructure every single day to cause as much damage as possible. You can read the full war briefing here: Share The Kremlin has said Vladimir Putin will meet Steve Witkoff for their talks on Tuesday afternoon."
Kremlin claims of battlefield advances are exaggerated. Kyiv's priorities remain security guarantees, sovereignty and territorial integrity. Russia must not receive rewards for its aggression against Ukraine. Talks are planned between Vladimir Putin and Steve Witkoff, with a hoped-for discussion between Kyiv and Donald Trump after Witkoff returns from Russia. A peace plan circulating between Ukraine, Russia and the United States has been revised and looks improved, with work continuing. The European Union warns that the Putin‑Witkoff talks could increase pressure on Ukraine to make concessions. The EU emphasizes that Russia started and continues the war and daily targets civilians and infrastructure.
