Donald Trump receives huge praise from Vladmir Putin's key Minister. Is Russia-Ukraine war ending soon?

US President Donald Trump seems to understand much more about what's going on in Ukraine than any European leader, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Saturday, as per a report.

Speaking at the Antalya Diplomacy Forum in southern Turkey, Lavrov reiterated that Trump understood the need to address the root causes of the conflict in Ukraine to resolve it.

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan and Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov discussed efforts to secure a ceasefire in the Russia-Ukraine war, a Turkish diplomatic source said on Saturday, Reuters reported.


The top diplomats also discussed energy cooperation issues and bilateral relations during a meeting on the sidelines of the Antalya Diplomacy Forum in southern Turkey, as per the Reuters report.

US envoy Steve Witkoff wrapped up his latest talks with Russia's Vladimir Putin on Friday, after President Donald Trump urged his Russian counterpart to move quicker to end what he said was the country's "senseless war" with Ukraine, AFP reported.

Trump has been pressing Moscow and Kyiv to agree a ceasefire deal but has failed to extract any major concessions from the Kremlin, despite repeated negotiations between Russian and US officials.

The US leader told NBC News last month he was "pissed off" with his Russian counterpart, while top US diplomat Marco Rubio warned last week that Washington would not tolerate "endless negotiations" with Russia over the conflict.
