The meeting between US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner and Russian President Vladimir Putin concluded at the Kremlin on Friday afternoon. The officials did not speak to the press afterward.
Witkoff did, however, briefly speak to reporters before leaving Moscow, Meduza reports. He said the parties had scheduled another trilateral meeting, but did not specify when it would take place.
“I think we’ve made progress. That’s what happened today. People didn’t believe we would resume the trilateral talks. We did. We’ve scheduled another meeting,” Witkoff said.
Donald Trump’s envoy said that the Europeans would take part in the next round of negotiations, stressing that “it is important for them to be involved.”
From Moscow, the US president’s envoys will fly to Dublin, where they will meet with Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky to continue mediating the negotiations.
