Russian tyrant Vladimir Putin has indicated he “accepts the philosophy of President Trump’’ when it comes to ending the Ukraine war, and the pair will talk by phone this week, says US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff.
The US and Ukraine reached an agreement last week on a plan for a 30-day cease-fire to allow broader negotiations for an end to the war, a proposal that Russia refused to accept at the time. Trump and Putin are set to discuss the proposal this week, Witkoff told CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday.
“I don’t want to put words in President Putin’s mouth, but I think he’s indicated that he accepts the philosophy of President Trump,” Witkoff told CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday, several days after he met with the Russian dictator.
“President Trump wants to see an end to this. I think President Putin wants to see an end to this,” Witkoff said.
The US envoy met with Putin on Thursday for about four hours to discuss the war.
