Witkoff said he believed the land concessions were necessary all while advising Ushakov to congratulate Trump and frame discussions more optimistically. Now, me to you, I know what it's going to take to get a peace deal done: Donetsk and maybe a land swap somewhere, Witkoff told Ushakov during the five-minute conversation, according to Bloomberg's transcript.

On Wednesday, Andrei Kartapolov, a senior Russian lawmaker, said: We know these missiles very well, how they fly, how to shoot them down, we worked on them in Syria, so there is nothing new.

Ukrainian forces launched drone and missile attacks on two cities in occupied parts of Ukraine's eastern Donetsk region as US and European officials met in Washington to discuss more economic sanctions on Russia to force it to negotiate an end to the war. The attacks killed two people and injured 16, according to Denis Pushilin, the Russia-installed head of the Donetsk region.
