Kremlin calls Putin meeting with US envoys small step toward peace
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov described a Saturday meeting between President Vladimir Putin and US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner as "one small step toward peace," and said Moscow values the American negotiators' efforts. The envoys then travelled to Kyiv to meet President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Kremlin aide Yury Ushakov said the Moscow talks lasted three hours and ten minutes and were substantive and frank. Russia did not rule out resuming trilateral Ukraine negotiations or a Putin-Trump phone call, and separately warned that Norway's military buildup near its border requires additional Russian security measures.
