According to a report by Reuters, Trump's envoy Witkowski told Trump after meeting with the Russian envoy:

"The fastest way to achieve a ceasefire is to hand over the four regions of Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, Luhansk, and Donetsk to Russia."

For this meeting, Witkowski initially planned to invite the Russian envoy to dinner at his private residence before the White House meeting.

However, this caused concern in the White House and the State Department, and the dinner was rescheduled to take place at the White House instead.

Russia seems to reject any peace agreement that does not involve full control over Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, Donetsk, and Luhansk.

In addition, according to the Kremlin's confirmation, the meeting will discuss efforts to reach a ceasefire with Ukraine as well as the possibility of a meeting between Trump and President Zelenskyy.
