Caption: Trump Backs Away from Ukraine Peace Deal Deadline, Signals Negotiations Continue. U.S. President Donald Trump has stepped back from a Thursday deadline for Ukraine to agree to a U.S.-backed peace plan, saying the timeline depends on when the deal is completed. Speaking aboard Air Force One, Trump said U.S. negotiators are making progress with Russia and Ukraine, though he did not provide specifics. Trump confirmed his envoy Steve Witkoff will travel to Moscow next week to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin, with Jared Kushner also involved in the talks, drawing on his experience in the Gaza ceasefire. The U.S. framework for ending the war had raised concerns that Ukraine might be pressured into concessions favoring Moscow but Trump emphasized negotiations are ongoing and that security guarantees for Ukraine are being worked out with European partners. He also suggested Russia may gain some territory in Ukraine regardless, noting that reaching an agreement soon would be in Ukraine's best interests.
