Kremlin Calls US Talks Constructive and Substantive
Political
Talks between Russian President Vladimir Putin and a US delegation at the Kremlin were constructive, frank, and held in a trusting atmosphere, Russian presidential aide Yuri Ushakov said.
According to him, the meeting, which took place on Thursday, lasted about four hours and was highly substantive. The sides agreed that a long-term settlement is impossible without resolving the territorial issue.
Ushakov announced that the first meeting of a trilateral working group on security issues involving Russia, the United States, and Ukraine will take place in Abu Dhabi on Friday. The Russian negotiating team has been formed, includes senior Defense Ministry officials, and will depart for the UAE in the coming hours after receiving specific instructions from the president.
A meeting between the heads of the bilateral economic group — Kirill Dmitriev and Steve Witkoff — is also scheduled to take place in Abu Dhabi. US representatives shared their impressions of previous contacts in Davos, including the meeting between Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky.
The Russian side also expressed readiness to allocate $1 billion to the Gaza “Peace Council” using previously frozen Russian assets. The remaining funds could be directed toward post-conflict reconstruction following a peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine.
The Kremlin emphasized that Russia will continue pursuing the goals of its special military operation until a political and diplomatic settlement is achieved.
