AI Summary

medium article 3 min

US negotiators, including Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, met with Vladimir Putin at the Kremlin on Tuesday for five hours to discuss ending the war in Ukraine. The meeting followed prior discussions with Ukrainian delegates over a US-Russia draft peace plan. Putin's aide described the talks as "constructive," but noted that significant work remains. President Zelensky stated he expects a briefing from the US team and emphasized the opportunity to end the war, while reiterating the need for Ukrainian participation in discussions and security guarantees. The 28-point peace plan, circulated in November, has been refined after initial criticism for favoring Moscow's demands, though key disagreements regarding Ukrainian sovereignty and security remain unresolved. Trump stated his administration is trying to settle the conflict.
