Vitcof meets Putin as Trump calls on Russia to “move” Ukraine

American special prana Steve Vikof met with Vladimir Putin in St. Petersburg on Friday, while Donald Trump called on the Russian president to “move” as he ends the fire in Ukraine.

This will be Vitcof’s third meeting with Putin this year, during which the United States failed to make Russia agree to the full ceasefire with Ukraine.

Previously, Trump expressed dissatisfaction with Putin from the state of conversation. On Friday, he wrote on social media: “Russia has to move. Too many people (SIC) die, thousands a week, in a terrible and meaningless war.”

The meeting comes when the United Kingdom and Germany chaired the gathering of Ukraine allies in Brussels, where 50 countries agreed to € 21 billion (£ 18.2 billion) in military assistance to Kiev.
