US President Donald Trump’s envoy said Sunday he expects progress in Ukraine-Russia talks Monday and that he trusts Russian leader Vladimir Putin does not want to expand his invasion of the pro-Western country.
“I think you’re going to see in Saudi Arabia on Monday some real progress, particularly as it affects a Black Sea ceasefire on ships between both countries. And from that, you’ll naturally gravitate to a full-on shooting ceasefire,” Steve Witkoff told Fox News.
“I feel he wants peace,” Witkoff said of Putin, whose forces have been occupying swaths of Ukraine since 2014 and launched a full-scale invasion in 2022. “Lots of progress got made last week.”
