US EditionRussia says no Ukraine compromise reached after five-hour Putin talks with Trump envoys
Negotiations in Moscow lasted nearly five hours with no agreement on Ukraine's territorial issues, a key obstacle to peace, according to Kremlin adviser Yuri Ushakov.
- On Dec 2, President Vladimir Putin hosted a nearly five-hour session with U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, which failed to produce a compromise, Kremlin aide Yury Ushakov said.
- Triggered by a leaked set of 28 US draft peace proposals last week, diplomats revisited a revised U.S. peace proposal drafted with input from Ukrainian officials, alarming Ukrainian and European officials.
- More than 19 per cent of Ukraine — 115,600 square km — is under Russian control, and Moscow says territorial issues are `the most important`, with demands including a NATO pledge and Donbas control.
- Agreeing to continue negotiations, both sides pledged envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner would travel to Kyiv to brief Ukrainian officials while Moscow discussed business deals and vast prospects for future economic cooperation.
- Witkoff's sixth trip this year underscores persistent U.S. mediation, despite little sign of shifting positions as Ukraine says it will not cede territory and Marco Rubio leads plan revisions.
