Putin aide: meeting with Witkoff and Kushner was “substantive.” They expressed “a number of considerations regarding possible ways of settlement”translated

Vladimir Putin’s meeting with Donald Trump’s envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, who arrived in Moscow, was “substantive, constructive, extremely frank and trusting,” said Russian presidential aide Yuri Ushakov.

According to him, the Russian side gave “clear and comprehensive assessments” of the situation” developing on the front. “In particular, the real successes of the Russian army in advancing in the combat zone were noted. Confidence was expressed in achieving the set goals and, of course, the need to eliminate all the root causes of the conflict was emphasized,” Ushakov added.

Witkoff and Kushner “promised to use the observations and assessments received from the Russian President regarding reaching a lasting peaceful settlement of the conflict during contacts in Kyiv,” Ushakov said. Trump's envoys themselves, in his words, "formulated a number of considerations about possible ways of settlement."

In addition, as Ushakov said, the Americans “took note” of the point that Putin drew attention to: that “the Kiev regime has already stopped hiding its essence, having started reburying some of the most important Nazi criminals.”
