Putin’s foreign affairs adviser Yuri Ushakov said the two sides are working on setting up a meeting, and that a venue for the meeting has been agreed on and will be announced later.

The White House said Wednesday that Russia suggested a meeting between President Trump and Vladimir Putin — as Mr. Trump presses Russia to strike a ceasefire with Ukraine.

President Donald Trump said peace talks with Vladimir Putin are ‘progressing fast’ behind the scenes. He said no deal will be signed without President Zelenskyy’s full involvement. Trump said he’s seen encouraging signs from Russia but warned he’s been misled before.
