ISTANBUL (AA) - US President Donald Trump described his Thursday discussion with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as a "very good" meeting, signaling potential momentum toward ending the conflict.
The hour-long session in Davos, Switzerland, on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum comes as the US administration intensifies its diplomatic efforts across both sides of the front lines.
“I had a very good meeting with President Zelenskyy. Everybody wants to have the war end,” Trump said following the talk.
Zelenskyy also described the meeting as "good."
Trump confirmed that a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin and US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner is scheduled, but the specific timing of the summit remained fluid.
Putin indicated earlier Thursday he would receive envoys in Moscow today, while Trump said the meeting would take place on Friday.
"We have peace in the Middle East … and I believe another one's coming pretty soon," Trump said earlier in the day, pointing to the Russia-Ukraine war.
Witkoff reinforced this optimism, suggesting that negotiators are currently focused on resolving just one final issue.
