High-level talks between Russia and the US on ending the Ukraine war showed limited progress as Putin met with Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner and envoy Steve Witkoff in Moscow. The Kremlin stated that while some American solutions could be discussed, no compromise was found on territorial issues. Putin maintained his demand for Ukrainian territorial concessions while Zelensky insisted any peace plan must end the war permanently rather than just pause fighting.
