WASHINGTON, Nov. 25 (Xinhua) -- U.S. President Donald Trump said Tuesday he has directed his special envoy Steve Witkoff to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow in hope of finalizing a peace deal on the Ukraine crisis.

"In the hopes of finalizing this Peace Plan, I have directed my Special Envoy Steve Witkoff to meet with President Putin in Moscow and, at the same time, Secretary of the Army Dan Driscoll will be meeting with the Ukrainians," Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.

"The original 28-Point Peace Plan, which was drafted by the United States, has been fine-tuned, with additional input from both sides, and there are only a few remaining points of disagreement," Trump said, adding that his team has made "tremendous progress" over the past week.

Trump said he looks forward to hopefully meeting with Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky soon, but only when the peace deal is final or in its final stages.

The U.S.-proposed 28-point peace plan was unveiled last week.

Following its release, representatives from the United States, Ukraine and several European countries met in Geneva on Sunday to discuss the plan.

On Monday and Tuesday, U.S. Army Secretary Daniel Driscoll held talks with Russian officials in Abu Dhabi on the draft, according to a statement from the U.S. Army.
