Putin says US-Russia contacts beneficial as talks begin with Witkoff and Kushner
Putin said the talks were useful as the envoys presented settlement ideas and discussed possible U.S.-Russian economic projects, officials said.
- On Saturday, Russian President Vladimir Putin met American envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff at the Senate Palace in Moscow for "highly useful" talks on ending the Ukraine war.
- President Donald Trump suggested on Friday he had a fresh proposal to end the conflict, which has dragged on for four and a half years with static front lines and intensified long-range strikes.
- Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov described the more-than-three-hour meeting as "constructive, extremely frank and trustful," noting the Americans proposed a "number of ideas" for a potential settlement.
- Following the talks, the envoys departed Moscow to meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy in Kyiv on Sunday; Putin ordered the Russian military to pause strikes on the capital for three days to ensure their safety.
- Despite diplomatic progress, a vast gulf persists over Moscow's "unshakeable" demand that Ukraine cede four regions and abandon NATO plans, though Zelenskiy agreed to refrain from strikes on Moscow through Monday.
