The meeting between Russian dictator Vladimir Putin and the US delegation, which included US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, has ended. This was reported by "Komersant Ukrainian" with reference to CNN.
The talks between Russian dictator Vladimir Putin and US representatives, including Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, lasted almost 5 hours.

According to CNN sources, the talks were held behind closed doors.
Before the talks began, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said there were no time limits and they would talk “as long as necessary.”
According to the Kremlin, Putin was accompanied by his aides Yuri Ushakov and Kirill Dmitriev.
It has not yet been disclosed what issues the parties discussed or whether they reached any specific agreements.
The presence of Jared Kushner, the son-in-law of former US President Donald Trump, attracted special media attention because he does not officially hold public office.
The reasons for the visit have not been announced

This format of talks in the Kremlin between Putin and US representatives is atypical and raises questions about possible political or diplomatic steps that could be related to Russia’s war against Ukraine or broader security issues.
What’s next
It is expected that the US or Russia may release a brief summary of the talks in the near future. So far, there is no official information on the content of the discussions.
What Zelenskyy says
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called the current diplomatic situation “one of the most difficult, but at the same time the most optimistic moments.”
