Quote: "A compromise option has not yet been found, but some of the US proposals look more or less acceptable, though they still need to be discussed. Some of the wording we were offered does not suit us."
Details: The meeting between Putin, US president's special envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner lasted nearly five hours. Putin's aide, who was also present at the meeting, said that the discussion focused on the substance of the American proposals rather than specific wording of the peace plan.
According to Ushakov, in addition to the initial American "peace plan", which consisted of 27 points, Moscow was sent four more documents. He declined to comment on their contents.
He said that the Russian side expressed a "critical and even negative attitude" towards several proposals, although the Kremlin is "ready to agree" with some of the points.
Ushakov added that "the territorial issue is the most important" for both the Russians and the Americans.
He also claimed that the meeting touched upon "huge prospects for economic cooperation" between Russia and the United States.
Regarding the possibility of a personal meeting between Putin and Trump, Ushakov said that none is currently planned.
"The possibility of a meeting between Putin and Trump will depend on the progress achieved towards a settlement," he noted.
Background:
