Negotiations unravel, Putin accepts several American proposals for Ukraine

The Kremlin said on Wednesday that President Vladimir Putin accepted some U.S. proposals aimed at ending the war in Ukraine and rejected others, but that Russia was ready to meet with American negotiators as many times as necessary to reach an agreement.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov was speaking after talks in Moscow between Putin and US President Donald Trump's special envoy, Steve Witkoff, and his son-in-law Jared Kushner, which lasted into the early hours of Wednesday morning, with a Kremlin aide saying afterwards that "compromises have not yet been found."
Asked whether it would be accurate to say that Putin had rejected the American proposals, Peskov said that would not be correct.
"A direct exchange of views took place yesterday for the first time," Peskov said. "Some things were accepted, some things were considered unacceptable - this is a normal working process of finding a compromise."
As Reuters reports, Peskov said Russia was grateful to Trump for his efforts, but that the Kremlin would not provide ongoing comments on discussions with the United States, as the publicity was likely not to be constructive.
“The work is currently being carried out at the expert level,” Peskov said. “It is at the expert level that certain results should be achieved, which will then become the basis for contacts at the highest level.”
A set of 28 American peace proposals, leaked in November, alarmed Ukrainian and European officials, who said they complied with Moscow's main demands.
European powers then presented a counterproposal, and at talks in Geneva, the US and Ukraine said they had created an “updated and refined peace framework” to end the war.
Putin on Tuesday said European powers were trying to sink peace talks by proposing ideas that were absolutely unacceptable to Russia.
Putin's foreign policy aide, Yuri Ushakov, told reporters after talks with Witkoff that Moscow had earlier received a set of 27 proposals and then four additional documents, which were discussed with Witkoff.
Putin said last week that the US and Ukraine had divided the initial proposals into four components. The exact content has not been disclosed.
