Trump meets Putin envoy, predicts Ukraine deal soon

jpost.com —

President Donald Trump said he met privately with Russian President Vladimir Putin's envoy Kirill Dmitriev on Thursday and predicted a deal to resolve the war in Ukraine could emerge soon. Trump declined to disclose the discussion details. The meeting followed a White House event where Dmitriev appeared alongside Ukrainian representatives, marking rare face-to-face contact. A US delegation is scheduled to mediate Russia-Ukraine talks in Abu Dhabi on November 10-11, with Trump suggesting any agreement could involve all of Europe. First lady Melania Trump helped broker a six-day ceasefire in Oleshky that expired Sunday, and Democrats won control of Congress in Tuesday's midterm elections, which may affect future Ukraine aid and sanctions policy.
