Trump was asked whether he thinks President Putin will listen to him, after he earlier condemned Russia's overnight attack on Ukraine. "I do, yeah," Trump replies. The US president adds that he needs to get both Putin and Zelensky to the discussion table but says "they both want peace".

U.S. President Donald Trump's envoy Steve Witkoff met President Vladimir Putin for three hours in Moscow on Friday to discuss the U.S. plan to end the Ukraine war, and the Kremlin said the two sides' positions had moved closer.

Steve Witkoff arrived in Moscow for talks with Putin as a Russian general died in an explosion in a suburb of the city and Russia pressed ahead with its assault on Ukraine.
