The Kremlin has confirmed that President Vladimir Putin accepted certain proposals from the United States on ending the war in Ukraine while rejecting others, and indicated that Russia is ready to continue negotiations until an agreement is reached.
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said discussions between Putin and U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff, accompanied by Jared Kushner, ran into the early hours of Wednesday. An aide later noted that “compromises have not yet been found.”
Peskov described the exchange as a standard working process, explaining that “some proposals were accepted, while others were marked as unacceptable,” adding that it was the first direct exchange of views on the draft peace measures. Russia expressed gratitude to the U.S. for its efforts but will not provide running commentary, he said.
Work is continuing at an expert level to refine the proposals, which will later form the basis for high-level negotiations. The contents of the discussions remain undisclosed.
A leaked set of 28-point U.S. draft proposals last month had raised concerns in Ukraine and Europe for largely aligning with Moscow’s demands. European powers subsequently developed a counter-proposal, and recent Geneva talks produced an updated peace framework.
Putin has criticised the European proposals as unacceptable, according to his foreign policy aide, Yuri Ushakov.
