The Kremlin said Tuesday “no compromise” has been reached yet on the key question territory in Ukraine, after hours-long talks with US envoy Steve Witkoff and President Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner.<\/p>\n
The meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin — preceded by days of frenzied diplomacy from Florida to Geneva to Abu Dhabi — was part of a push by Washington to advance a plan to end the war which was initially seen by Europe and Ukraine as too favourable to Moscow.<\/p>\n
“So far we haven’t found a compromise, but some American solutions can be discussed,” top Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov said in answer to a journalist’s question about occupied Ukrainian territories.<\/p>\n
“Some proposed formulations do not fit us, and work will continue,” he added.<\/p>\n
The top Putin diplomatic aide said the initial US plan was broken down into four parts, which were discussed during the five-hour meeting in the Kremlin.<\/p>\n
“There were some points we could agree on,” Ushakov said, but “the president did not hide our critical, even negative, stance on a number of proposals”.<\/p>\n
Still, Ushakov said, “the conversation was very useful and constructive,” even though “a lot of work lies ahead both in Washington in Moscow”.<\/p>\n
When asked whether the two sides’ positions became farther apart after the meeting, Ushakov said: “Not farther apart, that’s for sure.”<\/p>\n
Both sides also agreed not to reveal the essence of the negotiations, according to the Russian official.<\/p>\n
