In brief
US presidential envoy Jared Kushner said a meeting could help talks on ending the war. He said Russia wanted more progress before the leaders met.
US presidential envoy Jared Kushner said it would be good for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Russian President Vladimir Putin to meet for talks on ending the war, RBC-Ukraine reported. He was speaking at a press conference following negotiations in Abu Dhabi.
Kushner said the Russian side wanted to see more progress before such a meeting. He also described trust between Zelensky and Putin as low.
Preparing a peace agreement would take time, he said, because negotiators still needed to bring its components together and determine the structure and timing of further steps. Only the leaders could make the final decisions, he added. RBC-Ukraine's report did not specify an agreed date or venue for a meeting.
