Witkoff: "substantial progress" after Moscow and Kyiv, dates for a trilateral meeting being worked out
In the late afternoon, U.S. President’s envoy Steve Witkoff claimed progress on X following separate talks in Moscow and Kyiv: “Substantial progress has been made, including on the dates for further trilateral negotiations” (transl. from Russian). The post was picked up by E1.ru and MSK1.ru. No public confirmation from Moscow or Kyiv on the dates. An evening analysis by Komsomolskaya Pravda instead judged the prospects of a broader ceasefire increasingly remote; the Italian morning press review had recorded the mission as showing no progress.
