US president Donald Trump said his plan to end the war in Ukraine has been “fine-tuned” and that he is sending envoy Steve Witkoff to meet Russian president Vladimir Putin and army secretary Dan Driscoll to meet Ukrainian officials.

Mr Trump suggested he could eventually meet with Mr Putin and Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky, but not until further progress had been made in negotiations.

“I will be briefed on all progress made, along with vice president JD Vance, secretary of state Marco Rubio, secretary of war Pete Hegseth, and White House chief of staff Susie Wiles,” Mr Trump added in the social media posting.

“I look forward to hopefully meeting with President Zelensky and President Putin soon, but ONLY when the deal to end this war is FINAL or, in its final stages.”
