President Donald Trump says Ukraine and Russia are making progress in peace talks but called the conflict difficult to solve on Tuesday night.

Steve Witkoff, U.S. special envoy to the Middle East, will travel to Moscow on Monday as Ukraine-Russia peace talks show signs of progress.

Moscow and Beijing have played to the president’s dealmaking, rattling America’s security partners.

Top Trump administration officials are meeting Ukrainian negotiators in Florida this weekend, pushing to broker an end to Russia's war in Ukraine and setting the stage for key talks planned this week in Moscow with Russian leader Vladimir Putin.

Just the News previously reported that the FBI had launched an investigation after finding classified information tied to the now-discredited Trump-Russia collusion saga stashed at FBI headquarters.

Former CIA Moscow station chief warns Putin may use Ukraine negotiations for battlefield advantage rather than genuine peace, citing Russia's unchanged goals.

Donald Trump has defended his special envoy Steve Witkoff as doing the "standard thing" after a leaked recording appeared to show him advising a Russian official on how to appeal to the US president.
