US, Russia find 'no compromise' on territory after Ukraine talks

High-stakes US-Russia talks on ending the war in Ukraine failed to yield a breakthrough on Tuesday, as the Kremlin said “no compromise” had been found yet on the key question of territory.

Russian President Vladimir Putin met US President Donald Trump’s son-inlaw Jared Kushner and special envoy Steve Witkoff in the Kremlin, after earlier signalling that his forces were ready to fight on to achieve Russia’s initial war goals.

The meeting is a crucial moment for Ukraine in what could be a fraught week following days of frantic diplomacy. At the heart of it is a US plan to bring peace, which has since been revised under pressure from Kyiv and its European backers.

On occupied Ukrainian tertitories, “so far we haven’t found acompromise, but some American solutions can be discussed,” top Russian presidential aide Yuri Ushakov said after the Moscow meeting.
