Kremlin says that the American-Russia talks have been “constructive” while the expiration date is looming

The Kremlin says that the American envoy Steve Witkoff and the Vladimir Putin of Russia had “constructive” talks, while Donald Trump’s deadline for Moscow to agree with a ceasefire in Ukraine is looming.

Foreign policy assistant Yuri Ushakov said that, at their three -hour meeting, Putin had transmitted “signals” to Witkoff on what he called the “Ukrainian question” and “received corresponding signals” on the American side.

More information on negotiations is shared after Witkoff reported Trump, USHAKOV added.

The American president said that Russia could face heavy sanctions or see secondary sanctions imposed on all those who exchange with him if he does not take measures to put an end to the “horrible war” with Ukraine.

There have been immediate comments from the United States or Ukraine after talks.

In front of them, Volodymyr Zelensky, president of Ukraine, warned that Russia would only make serious movements to peace if it was starting to run out of money. He welcomed the threat of more severe American sanctions and prices on nations that buy Russian oil.

In the images shared by Russian points of sale, the two men – who met several times before – were seen smiling and shaking hands in a golden room.

Expected expectations on Friday, and Russia continued its large -scale air attacks against Ukraine despite the threats of Trump sanctions.

Before taking office in January, Trump said he would be able to end the war between Russia and Ukraine in one day. He has failed and has since impatiently impatient by a lack of tangible progress, with his rhetoric towards the tightening of Russia.

“We thought we (war) settled on several occasions, then President Putin comes out and begins to launch rockets in a city like Kyiv and kills many people in a nursing home or something else,” he said last month.

Three rounds of talks between Ukraine and Russia in Istanbul failed to bring war closer and at the end, three and a half years after the launch of Moscow.

Moscow’s military and political conditions for peace remain unacceptable to kyiv and its Western partners. The Kremlin has also repeatedly refused kyiv requests for a meeting between Zelensky and Putin.

Meanwhile, the American administration approved $ 200 million (150 million pounds sterling) of additional military sales in Ukraine on Tuesday following a telephone call between Zelensky and Trump, in which the two leaders also discussed the cooperation of defense and drone production.

Ukraine uses drones to hit Russia’s refineries and energy facilities, while Moscow has concentrated its air attacks against Ukrainian cities.

The military administration of the city of Kyiv said that the results of an attack on the city last week has increased to 32 years after a man died of his injuries. The strike has been the deadliest in Kyiv since the start of the invasion.

Ukrainian authorities reported on Wednesday that a Russian attack on a holiday camp in the central region of Zaporizhzhia had killed two and 12 injured.

“There is no military sense in this attack. It’s just the cruelty of frightening people,” said Zelensky.
