US Special Envoy Kushner believes Russian and European officials may be better able to discuss the issues calmly rather than through the media.
"We have also been working very closely over the last few months with the Europeans, and I think that has been very important. We cannot conclude this agreement without the Europeans at the table. We told President Putin that we believe this is very important, and President Zelensky was a very strong supporter.
And he's said that from the beginning, and I think we're able to get that with President Putin, and he's willing to try it. I think from the Russian point of view, from the European point of view, there are a lot of things that both sides are saying publicly.
And I think what we're hoping to see, in the conversations when people come together is that you can talk about things. You can maybe have a little more calm conversations and go over these issues. ".
