US President Donald Trump praised the outcome of a meeting between his Russia counterpart, Vladimir Putin, and US special envoy Steve Witkoff, calling it “very productive.”

Both sides will work on ending the Ukraine conflict “in the days and weeks to come,” the American leader wrote in a post on Truth Social on Wednesday.

According to Trump, “great progress”was achieved at the meeting in Moscow earlier in the day.

He said he had updated some of America’s allies in Europe on its results but provided no further details. “Everyone agrees” the Ukraine conflict should come to an end, he stated.

Commenting on the meeting, Kremlin aide Yury Ushakov said that Putin and Witkoff had exchanged “signals.”

“Some signals were transmitted on the Ukrainian issue” by Putin, and “corresponding signals were also received from President Trump,” he told journalists.

Putin’s economic envoy, Kirill Dmitriev, welcomed Trump’s assessment of the talks, posting on X that “progress is being made, and positive forces will prevail.”

The US president has recently expressed frustration with his lack of success in swiftly brokering a peace deal between Moscow and Kiev. He has urged Moscow to reach an agreement as soon as possible, while threatening to impose secondary tariffs of up to 100% on Russia’s trade partners if it doesn’t.

Shortly before his comment on the Moscow meeting, Trump raised tariffs on Indian goods to 50%, citing the purchase of Russian oil by Indian companies. New Delhi has branded the move as “unfair, unjustified and unreasonable.”

MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto on Wednesday called out the "big lie" of fellow top diplomats of EU member states when they are trying to portray the assistance to Ukraine as a moral obligation, claiming that Kiev is allegedly defending their countries from Russia.

"We have been hearing for three and a half years that Ukrainians are defending Europe, but this is a big lie. Ukrainians do not defend us because no one attacked us ... They [EU foreign ministers] are trying to create a sense of guilt, in which we are supposed to perceive the need to support Ukraine as some kind of our spiritual duty. But this is not true, Ukraine does not defend us," Szijjarto told Hungarian podcast Harcosok Oraja (Warriors' Hour).

Every meeting of EU foreign ministers starts with a speech by the top Ukrainian diplomat, who lists his demands and complains that European supplies of money and weapons are insufficient and too slow, Szijjarto said. 

"And then there is a self-condemnation match. My EU colleagues say that we are doing too little and must do more, that we are slow, we are weak, we are bad, because we must provide a much more active support for Ukraine," the minister said.

Szijjarto added that he personally, at such moments, mentally calculated how many hundreds of billions of euros in money, weapons and "who knows what else" has Brussels already sent to Ukraine, and how they had destroyed the European economy and competitiveness, but even that does not seem to be enough.

In December 2024, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said that the EU and the US had spent a combined 310 billion euros ($360 billion) on Ukraine, which he called a "horrific" sum that would have "worked miracles" if invested in the European economy. Instead, the money "went down the drain," he said, warning the West that it is making a grave mistake in Ukraine that will come at a high price.
