Kremlin: Putin accepts some US proposals to end war in Ukraine

The Kremlin announced today that Russian President Vladimir Putin has accepted some proposals from the United States (US) to end the war in Ukraine.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said after Putin's meeting with US President Donald Trump's special envoy, Steve Witkoff, that "a compromise has not yet been reached," Reuters reports.

"Yesterday, for the first time, there was a direct exchange of opinions. Some things were accepted, some things were marked as unacceptable – this is a normal working process of finding a compromise," Peskov said.

Peskov also said that he was grateful to Trump for his efforts, but that the Kremlin would not comment further on the negotiations with the US because "publicity would not be productive."

"It is precisely at the expert level that certain results should be achieved, which will then become the basis for contacts at the highest level," Peskov added.
