Five hours of talks between Russian President Vladimir Putin and top United States negotiators did not yield a breakthrough compromise on a possible Ukraine peace deal, a Kremlin aide said early Wednesday.

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday said the current US peace proposal that heavily favors Moscow could “form the basis for a final peace settlement” in Ukraine. Putin spoke in favor of President Trump’s 28-point peace plan,

President Trump says the original peace plan has been "fine-tuned", and that he will send his envoy Steve Witkoff to Moscow.

Putin also claimed that Zelensky’s European allies have pushed for demands that are “absolutely unacceptable."

With trade relations and the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, French President Emmanuel Macron has arrived in Beijing to hold talks with Chinese leader Xi Jinping.
