President Donald Trump, meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte in the Oval Office, was asked what kind of agreement he hopes special envoy Steve Witkoff secures while in Russia.
"I would like to see a ceasefire from Russia," Trump responded. "And we have not been working in the dark. We've been discussing with Ukraine land and pieces of land that would be kept and lost, all of the other elements of the final agreement. There's a power plant involved."
Trump said it's not an "easy process" and that the ceasefire would be the first phase of long-term peace.
"A lot of the details of the final agreement have actually been discussed. Now we're going to to see whether or not Russia's there and if they're not then it'll be very disappointing moment for the world."

The Justice Department's Task Force to Combat Antisemitism said it has reached out to local leaders of New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago and Boston to arrange meetings to "discuss their responses to incidents of antisemitism at schools and on college campuses in their cities over the last two years."
Leo Terrell, a civil rights attorney and former Fox News personality now leading the task force, sent letters to New York Mayor Eric Adams, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, and Boston Mayor Michelle Wu regarding "allegations that the schools in their respective cities may have failed to protect Jewish students from unlawful discrimination," the department said in a release.
The outreach comes as the DOJ has said it is weighing taking legal action against universities it argues failed to take more aggressive actions to crack down on protests following Hamas' Oct. 7 attack on Israel.
The outreach to Adams is also notable as the Justice Department is seeking to dismiss his criminal case without prejudice, an arrangement that led prosecutors on his case to resign rather approve what they argued it amounted to a 'quid pro quo' arrangement to secure his cooperation with immigration enforcement efforts.
