A bilateral meeting between President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin could happen as soon as next week, according to a White House official.

White House special envoy Steve Witkoff returned from Moscow on Wednesday and relayed to President Trump that Putin would like to meet with him, the official said.

In response, Trump indicated he is open to that if Putin also meets with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the official added.

Witkoff met with Putin for several hours on Wednesday ahead of the Friday deadline imposed by Trump for Russia to agree to a ceasefire with Ukraine or face sanctions.

According to a senior administration official, the meeting "went well" but secondary sanctions are still expected to be deployed against Moscow this week.

Two heads of state do not get together in this type of meeting unless all of the terms are agreed to in advance.

Things for such mtgs should be pre defined.

Be aware end of this month is the big SCO meeting with Putin, Modi and Xi in attendance. So any Trump Putin mtg has to be scheduled before or around that.

This meeting does not smell of like signing end of war. It sounds more like critical negotiation issues only heads of state can authorize.

I’ve seen some propaganda drone video results. Absolutely horrible.
Can only imagine what close quarters combat is like. Yes, this must end asap.

And to quote what I read on the back of an airline magazine once.

“You don’t get what you deserve, you get what you negotiate.”

Tell your Zelensky to get off the gay piano train and get on the Putin-Trump train. Only 7 more days!

Maybe. But Trump also wants a big subject change right now, so he may be willing to sing it.
