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 Zelenskyy, but not until further progress had been made in negotiations.
