Trump sends envoy to Moscow to push Ukraine peace plan, citing minor remaining issues.

President Trump has sent special envoy Steve Witkoff to Moscow to meet Vladimir Putin and push forward a near-final Ukraine peace plan, insisting only minor issues remain. Trump defended Witkoff’s tactics after leaked reports claimed he coached Russian officials on how to present the deal to Trump, calling the diplomacy normal and necessary. The White House hasn’t verified the leaks, but Trump says Witkoff is in constant contact with both sides. Ukraine is cautiously on board, while U.S. allies worry the approach tilts toward Moscow. Trump plans to meet both leaders once the terms are finalized.
