"Substantial differences" remain between Ukraine and the Russian Federation, but the United States is committed to ensuring lasting peace and a sovereign, secure and prosperous Ukraine, Kushner.
"Today we achieved an important humanitarian breakthrough: Ukraine and Russia agreed in principle on what would be the largest exchange of prisoners of war. It will unite families, build trust and create momentum towards peace.
The return of Ukraine and Russia to the first tripartite negotiating table since February was an important step. The discussions were serious, detailed and honest. The two countries shared concrete ideas to reduce the differences and find a way to end the war. In close coordination with Ukraine and our European partners, we have agreed on proposals that we will discuss with President Putin in Moscow tomorrow, after which we will hold consultations with President Zelensky. President Trump is determined to end this terrible war. Significant differences remain, but we are committed to building on the progress that has been made and moving toward broader multilateral negotiations that can ensure lasting peace and a sovereign, secure, and prosperous Ukraine," wrote the special envoy to the US presidency.
