WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Donald Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff said on Sunday that there would be an expectation that U.S. firms may do business in Russia in the event of a peace deal in the Russia-Ukraine war.

As Ukraine prepares to mark the third anniversary of Russia’s invasion, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy engages in some public negotiating with the U.S. as those doing the fighting cast doubt that peace will come soon.
