The press reported on the maximum positions of the parties, but they understand that compromises will be required." Jared Kushner on the progress of negotiations.
Trump's chief negotiator (and son-in-law) Jared Kushner says both sides are willing to compromise and "new ideas emerged" during the discussions.
"The press reported some maximalist positions put forward by both sides, as well as harsh political rhetoric. In our closed discussions, both sides understand that ending this war will require practical compromises," Kushner wrote.
According to him, the attention of the negotiating team is now focused on direct interaction between Moscow and European countries, as well as on preparing the agenda for the next round of the tripartite negotiations.
Kushner added that several new ideas came up during the discussions and are currently being developed. "Some may lead directly to a breakthrough, while others may evolve into new proposals that help overcome remaining differences," he said.
