Putin's aide Ushakov: Witkoff and Kushner promised us they wouldn't go to Kyiv, but promised they'd return home to Washington.
"There's still much work to be done," Ushakov stated. Putin's conversation with Whitkoff and Kushner was useful and constructive. He added that Russia and the US agreed not to disclose the substance of the talks. Moscow received four additional documents in addition to Trump's initial 28-point plan for a settlement in Ukraine. The meeting provided an opportunity to discuss further ways to resolve the Ukrainian crisis. The substance of the US settlement plan, rather than specific proposals, was discussed.
