March 14, 2025 (EIRNS)—President Donald Trump, in a Truth Social posting today following his envoy Steve Witkoff’s meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin at the Kremlin, reported that “We had very good and productive discussions” with Putin and that “there is a very good chance that this horrible, bloody war can finally come to an end.” But, he added, “AT THIS VERY MOMENT, THOUSANDS OF UKRAINIAN TROOPS ARE COMPLETELY SURROUNDED BY THE RUSSIAN MILITARY, AND IN A VERY BAD AND VULNERABLE POSITION.” Therefore, “I have strongly requested to President Putin that their lives be spared. This would be a horrible massacre, one not seen since World War II. God bless them all!!!”
Earlier, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov confirmed the fact of the meeting but not its content. Witkoff “was received by President Putin late last night and provided additional information to Russia. Putin conveyed information and additional signals to President Trump via Witkoff,” Peskov noted, reported TASS.
