Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Friday that he hoped peace talks between Russia and Ukraine would continue and that working groups could discuss potential compromises, but said Moscow's goals remained unchanged.

The move means Trump is walking back the 50-day deadline he set this month in response to Russia's continued bombing of Ukrainian cities.

"I'm going to reduce that 50 days that I gave him to a lesser number," Trump said as he met British Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
