Russian President Vladimir Putin has met US envoy Steve Witkoff to discuss details of the American proposal for a 30-day ceasefire in the war with Ukraine, and asked him to convey Moscow’s thoughts to Washington, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.

Mr Putin asked Mr Witkoff late on Thursday to give additional messages to US President Donald Trump, Mr Peskov told reporters, after the Russian leader said at a news conference that he supported a truce in principle but set out a host of details that need to be clarified before it is agreed.
