US EditionPutin meets Witkoff and Kushner for over four hours to discuss Ukraine peace
Talks lasted over four hours with no agreement on territorial concessions, a key barrier to peace, according to Kremlin adviser Yuri Ushakov.
- On Dec. 2, 2025, Russian President Vladimir Putin met U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner in Moscow for nearly five hours at the Kremlin.
- Driven by a revised U.S. peace plan, the talks tackled Kremlin demands for Ukraine to renounce NATO aspirations and cede the Donbas region, which Kyiv has rejected.
- Officials noted that Putin had gone over U.S. proposals received in four documents ahead of the meeting, and Yuri Ushakov described the talks as useful, constructive, and substantive though no compromise was found.
- Negotiators said the work will continue and more negotiation lies ahead, while Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Ukrainian President, said he is waiting for signals from the U.S. delegation and may send a higher-level team.
- European officials warn that critics argue the Trump administration's peace plan favors Moscow and European leaders want a larger role, as Russian claims like Pokrovsk raise broader European security concerns.
