US President Donald Trump said Russia and Ukraine are "very close to a deal," hours after his envoy Steve Witkoff and Russian President Vladimir Putin met in Moscow.

Yuri Ushakov
1. Today's conversation has brought our positions even closer not only on Ukraine, but also on other international issues.
2. This conversation allowed Russia and the United States to further bring their positions closer together, not only on Ukraine but also on a number of other international issues.
Sergei Lavrov
Russian Foreign Ministry
1. We will not abandon the denazification of the Kyiv regime, which is legislatively and physically exterminating everything Russian.
2. The president of the United States believes, and I think rightly so, that we are moving in the right direction.
3. There are still some specific points — elements — of this deal which need to be fine-tuned and we are busy with this exact process.
Volodymyr Zelenskiy
Ukraine Government
1. What President Trump says is true, and I agree with him in that today we do not have enough weapons to return control over the Crimean peninsula.
2. The constitution of Ukraine says that all the temporarily occupied territories … belong to Ukraine.
3. Our position is unchanged - only the Ukrainian people have the right to decide which territories are Ukrainian.
4. Insufficient pressure on North Korea and its allies allows them to make such ballistic missiles. The missile that killed the Kyiv residents contained at least 116 parts imported from other countries, and most of them, unfortunately, were made by US companies.
5. Any country that becomes a victim of aggression is never defending itself against a single entity but against a group of accomplices.
Marco Rubio
Republican Party
1. We've shown them the finish line. We need both of them to say yes, but what happened last night with those missile strikes should remind everybody of why this war needs to end.
Donald Trump
Republican Party
1. They are very close to a deal, and the two sides should now meet, at very high levels, to 'finish it off,'
2. Crimea will stay with Russia. And Zelenskyy understands that.
Tatiana Stayonova
RPolitik
1. Any agreement would be a tactical manoeuvre [by Moscow].
2. Putin appears genuinely convinced that Ukraine, under its current leadership, cannot uphold such commitments and that domestic turmoil is inevitable.
