President #DonaldTrump said there was “great progress” in talks to end #Russia’s war in #Ukraine, but stopped short of announcing a ceasefire, which was a priority of his for the Friday summit with Russian President #VladimirPutin. During a joint news conference, Trump said he and Putin didn’t reach a deal - despite Putin saying they had come to “an understanding” - as the two leaders offered scant details on what was discussed while heaping praise on each other. via abc7la • nathan.berganza
