Direct Ukraine | Latest news after the end of the truce, in the minute

The United States emissary, Steve Witkoff, will visit Russia this week whose authorities will keep consultations about the White House plan for the peaceful arrangement of the conflict in Ukraine. “We are waiting for him,” said Yuri Ushakov, Kremlin International Advisor to local agencies. The announcement occurred after US President Donald Trump said he will reveal details of his peace plan “in the next three days.” Some sources have suggested that, in case of agreement, Europeans could deploy peace forces in Ukraine, something that has always been categorically opposed Moscow. Witkoff held on April 11 in St. Petersburg a meeting with the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, the third in the last three months. Then, he offered an interview in which he assured that one of the keys to the arrangement is the territorial issue, to which the Ukrainian president, Volodimir Zelenski, replied that kyiv will never recognize the Russian occupation of its territory.
