Following consultations in Oslo, he described the diplomatic efforts as productive and expressed hope for negotiations between Ukraine, the US and Russia; however, no agreement on a ceasefire was publicly announced.<\/p>\n<div class=\"news-summary-box\">\n<p><strong>Briefly about the main points<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Vitkoff met with Putin at the Konstantinovsky Palace in St Petersburg.<\/li>\n<li>The US Special Representative stated that he had brought documents relating to the resolution of the war.<\/li>\n<li>The contents of the documents that Witkoff claimed to have brought to Putin have not been made public.<\/li>\n<li>Trilateral talks between Ukraine, the US and Russia remain a proposed, rather than an agreed, format.<\/li>\n<li>Russia released the American Stephen Hubbard separately from the peace talks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2>The documents were brought over, but no details were made public<\/h2>\n<p>The talks took place at the Konstantinovsky Palace in St Petersburg.

Jared Kushner joined remotely; national security advisers from the UK, Germany, Italy, the EU and NATO took part in the working dinner.<\/p>\n<p>An American official reported significant progress in coordinating the approach to dialogue with Russia. The Norwegian government cited Ukraine\u2019s security, post-war economic reconstruction and territorial issues as key topics.<\/p>\n<p>Vitkoff expressed the hope that <strong>Russia will consider the possibility of talks involving Ukraine, the US and the Russian Federation<\/strong>, where technical aspects of the settlement could be discussed.

According to Reuters and the Associated Press, Hubbard was at Pulkovo Airport, waiting to fly to the United States.<\/p>\n<p>In 2024, a Russian court sentenced Hubbard to six years and 10 months\u2019 imprisonment on charges of mercenary activity. Reuters reported that he had denied the charges.<\/p>\n<p>Hubbard\u2019s release is a separate outcome of the talks between Washington and Moscow. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated on the same day that Russia\u2019s position on a separate energy ceasefire remained unchanged: Moscow, he said, is insisting on a peace agreement rather than a temporary ceasefire.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Steve Witkoff stated that he had brought Putin documents concerning a settlement of the war.
