In a Kremlin meeting that lasted nearly five hours, U.S. envoys Steve Wittkoff and Jared Kushner discussed a Ukraine peace plan with President Vladimir Putin, concluding with the U.S. handing over additional diplomatic documents.
Meeting Duration and Participants
The meeting lasted almost five hours, with journalists invited to discuss it alongside Russian adviser Yuriy Uszhakov, who also took part in the dialogue.
U.S. representatives Wittkoff and Kushner, standing in for President Donald Trump, travelled to the Kremlin to present the U.S. peace proposal for Ukraine.
Putin’s Stance on the Plan
President Putin indicated that Russia could agree to certain aspects of the U.S. plan while criticizing other elements, according to adviser Uszhakov.
Both sides acknowledged the need for continued work on the peace framework, as reported by RIA Novosti.
Classified Negotiations
Uszhakov said several variants of the plan were discussed, with Russians and Americans agreeing not to disclose the negotiation details.
U.S. envoys will return home to brief President Trump and then engage Moscow again; officials emphasized that the talks would not involve Kiev.
Documents—including a 27‑point draft and four additional files—were reviewed by Russian officials, though no joint drafting occurred.
Preparatory Meeting in a Moscow Restaurant
Before entering the Kremlin, Wittkoff and Kushner met with Dmitriev at the Sawa restaurant, where the itinerary was outlined.
A large banquet was scheduled there, and after President Putin’s talk at an economic forum, the delegation entered the Kremlin amid a traffic‑paralyzed city.
