Assistant to the President of the Russian Federation Yuri Ushkov held a preliminary conversation with the US Presidential Envoy Steve Vitkoff and Jared Kushner at the Four Seasons Hotel in Moscow.
In response to a journalist's question whether a joint position had already been developed before his visit to the Kremlin, Ushkov said:
"Nothing has worked out now. Now there will be a major meeting with the President of Russia."
In talks with Vladimir Putin, American representatives are expected to discuss the results of the recent tripartite consultations in Abu Dhabi, the parameters of a large-scale exchange of prisoners of war and additional steps to resolve the conflict around Ukraine.
