Donald Trump has said his plan to end the war in Ukraine 'is making progress' and he is sending his special envoy Steve Witkoff to meet Vladimir Putin and his army secretary, Dan Driscoll, to meet Ukrainian officials. The US president told journalists aboard Air Force One that his son-in-law Jared Kushner might join the Witkoff-Putin meeting. Trump backed away from an earlier Thursday deadline for Ukraine to agree to a US-backed peace plan, saying: 'The deadline for me is when it’s over'
