US special envoy Steve Witkoff and a Russian negotiator met on Wednesday and Thursday in Washington, days after US President Donald Trump expressed frustration with Vladimir Putin over the lack of momentum on negotiations toward a ceasefire in Russia’s war on Ukraine.
The US is now waiting for Kirill Dmitriev, the Russian negotiator, to report back to President Putin before the two sides move forward with any next steps, according to a person familiar with the talks.
