No Ukraine peace deal after lengthy five-hour Putin-Witkoff-Kushner meeting

Russian President Vladimir Putin's five-hour meeting with U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner concluded without a breakthrough on the ongoing Ukraine conflict, as territorial disputes remain unresolved despite what were described as 'constructive' discussions.

The lack of progress in these talks highlights the complexities of negotiating peace in Ukraine, where longstanding territorial issues continue to hinder diplomatic efforts and the potential for a lasting resolution.

This situation reflects broader challenges in U.S.-Russia relations, as previous peace initiatives have faced skepticism, with experts warning that negotiations may be used by Putin to gain leverage rather than to achieve genuine peace.
