Vladimir Putin has received Donald Trump’s proposal to end the war in Ukraine, but the contents of the plan remain unknown. The Russian president met Trump’s envoys, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, at the Kremlin as Moscow and Washington sought to revive negotiations after more than six months of suspension.

· Donald TrumpTrump described the message his envoys were carrying to Moscow and Kyiv.

The two sides agreed to halt attacks on each other’s capitals for 72 hours, according to the report. Yuri Ushakov, Putin’s international affairs adviser, said the American representatives had prepared carefully for the visit. They expressed an interest in ending hostilities soon and presented “various ideas about possible ways to reach an agreement.”

The Russian position, however, has hardened in recent months, the article says, partly because of successful Ukrainian attacks on targets in Russia’s rear, including refineries and e-commerce warehouses. Ushakov said the talks highlighted what he called the Russian army’s genuine successes on the front and expressed confidence that Moscow would achieve its stated objectives.

Putin thanked Trump for his “sincere desire to contribute to a speedy, mutually acceptable solution,” while acknowledging that the situation was difficult. Ushakov said Putin again pointed to alleged Nazi tendencies in the Ukrainian government and called for the removal of “all the original causes of the conflict.” He also confirmed Russia’s willingness to continue working with the United States toward a political and diplomatic settlement.

· Vladimir PutinPutin thanked Trump at the start of the Kremlin meeting.

The Kremlin and the White House consider agreements reached at an August 2025 summit in Alaska obsolete, meaning analysts expect negotiations to begin from scratch. Talks since Trump returned to power 18 months earlier have produced no result. The latest effort differs because the U.S. mediators will travel to Kyiv for the first time and are expected to take Putin’s views into account.
