Jared Kushner, the son-in-law of the US president, said that progress had been made in understanding the concerns of Russia and Ukraine. He wrote this on social network X.
According to him, after many months, enormous work had been done to resume direct negotiations. Kushner said significant progress had been achieved in understanding the concerns of both sides, identifying possible solutions and working out a path forward.
Shortly before this, Kushner, together with Donald Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff, met with Vladimir Zelensky in Dublin. After that, consultations were held with national security advisers of Ukraine, Germany, Italy, the EU, France, Ireland and Poland.
The US leader's son-in-law promised to announce soon the schedule and details of the next conversations on settling the Ukrainian conflict.
The day before, President Vladimir Putin received Witkoff and Kushner in the Kremlin. Aide to the head of state Yuri Ushakov said that they had set out in detail their assessments of the trilateral negotiations.
The American negotiators arrived in Moscow on the morning of the same day from the capital of the UAE. A day earlier, consultations of representatives of Russia, the US and Ukraine had ended there. The head of the delegation, Vladimir Medinsky, said that the sides had been able to move closer to peace, but much now depends on all participants in the process. According to him, the central topic was discussion of the future architecture of European security after the end of the conflict in Ukraine.
During yesterday's meeting, Putin proposed to the Americans that a humanitarian mission be organized to evacuate the civilian population of Konstantinovka in the DPR. He noted that demining the territory near the city would take five days. As the president stressed, Russia controls this settlement and is ready to ensure the security of the operation.
