Russian President Vladimir Putin has concluded his meeting with U.S. special envoy Steven Witkoff. The talks, held in the Kremlin, lasted three hours, according to Russian Presidential Aide Yuri Ushakov, APA’s Moscow correspondent reports.
"A three-hour conversation took place. It was constructive and very useful," he noted.
He noted that, among other topics, the possibility of resuming direct negotiations between Russia and Ukraine was discussed: “The talks helped align positions between Russia and the U.S. not only on Ukraine, but on other issues as well.”
The Kremlin official called the timing of the meeting—coinciding with the anniversary of the Elbe Day encounter—symbolic.
Ushakov added that productive dialogue between Russia and the U.S. will continue at various levels.
