President Trump received positive messages about the possibility of a ceasefire but emphasized that a positive message means nothing without action. The White House confirmed that Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff will head to Moscow for negotiations. Trump believes that a ceasefire would make sense for Russia and mentioned the potential financial pressure that could be applied. Fighting has continued in Ukraine despite ongoing negotiations.
