“Negotiations between the Russian president Putin and the special envoy of the U.S. leader, Steve Witkoff, did not push back the settlement of the conflict in Ukraine”, - russian media wrote on the night of December 3, quoting the aide to the russian dictator, Yuri Ushakov, after putin’s meeting with the U.S. President’s special envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner in the kremlin on the evening of December 2.
“We’re not further, that’s for sure. But much more work remains ahead, both in Washington and in Moscow. This was agreed upon, and contacts will continue”, - Ushakov responded to the corresponding question.
At the same time, he admitted that the sides did not reach a compromise on the war in Ukraine.
The russian federation, after receiving the first version of the U.S. peace plan for Ukraine, received four more documents, which were discussed at the meeting that lasted more than 5 hours.
“I cannot disclose the substance of these documents. They all concern the long-term peaceful settlement of the crisis in Ukraine”, - Ushakov said.
As reported, putin refused to make concessions on three points of Trump’s plan.
