Kremlin says Ukraine talks with U.S. envoys were useful, but no signs of breakthrough
Putin told the envoys that Russia was making "real progress" on the battlefield and was confident of achieving its goals.
Russian President Vladimir Putin held extensive talks with two U.S. envoys, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, on Saturday, according to a Kremlin aide. The aide, Yuri Ushakov, described the discussions as "highly useful," but provided no indication of a breakthrough in resolving the Ukraine conflict. Ushakov stated that the Americans presented several ideas for potential settlement avenues, but did not elaborate on these proposals.
Putin reportedly informed the envoys of Russia's progress on the battlefield, expressed confidence in achieving its goals, and emphasized the need to address the root causes of the conflict.
