MOSCOW, Dec 3 (Reuters) – The Kremlin said on Wednesday that President Vladimir Putin had accepted some U.S. proposals to end the war in Ukraine and rejected others and that Russia was ready to meet U.S. negotiators as many times as it took to reach an agreement.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov was speaking after talks in Moscow between Putin and U.S. President Donald Trump’s special envoy, Steve Witkoff, and son-in-law Jared Kushner went into the early hours of Wednesday morning, with a Kremlin aide saying afterwards that “compromises have not yet been found.”
Peskov told reporters on Wednesday it would be wrong to say that Putin had rejected the U.S. proposals, noting that the meeting was a first face-to-face exchange of opinions on them.
Putin had accepted some of the proposals and rejected others in what was a normal negotiation process, Peskov said.
