The Russian Federation and Ukraine are ready for "practical compromises" to end the war, US negotiator Jared Kushner said.
"The press reported on maximalist demands from both sides, alongside harsh political rhetoric. However, in our closed discussions, both sides recognize that ending this war will require practical compromises," the son-in-law of US President Donald Trump wrote on the X social network.
Kushner also said that "NATO will remain a critical pillar of European security" and added: "We are committed to ensuring that our European partners are directly involved in these discussions." According to the US negotiator, during the discussions "several new ideas emerged", some of which "could lead directly to breakthroughs".
Earlier, the "New York Times" wrote, citing a document in its possession, that Russia demands the withdrawal of NATO troops from the eastern flank in Poland and the Baltic states, and also not to supply weapons to Ukraine.
