SAEDNEWS: Talks between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump’s envoy, Steve Witkoff, were constructive, very useful, and substantive, according to Russian Presidential aide Yury Ushakov.
He made the comments after five hours of talks between the Russian president, his envoy Kirill Dmitriev, and Witkoff, which concluded after midnight local time, RT reported.
“No compromises have been found as of yet,” Ushakov said afterward, adding that a meeting between Putin and Trump is not currently planned.
“We discussed the substance, not specific wording and solutions. The parties see enormous potential for cooperation,” Ushakov added.
“Some American proposals are acceptable to Russia... others are not,” he noted, emphasizing that the issue of territory was also discussed.
When asked whether peace is closer or further away following the talks, Ushakov said, “Definitely not further.”
According to the aide, the US delegation presented their Russian counterparts with four additional documents regarding a potential settlement of the Ukraine conflict.
Dmitriev described the session as “productive” on X, while Witkoff went directly to the US Embassy compound afterward.
