Yuri Ushakov stated that the conversation was "substantive, constructive, open, and useful, as, incidentally, were all previous discussions".
According to him, the American negotiators actively supported Putin's proposal to conduct a humanitarian operation in Kostiantynivka in the Donetsk region.
In addition, the parameters for "the most extensive" prisoner exchange are currently being agreed upon.
Ushakov also reported that Russia is ready to immediately begin joint discussions with the United States on proposals for European security. According to him, Moscow has "fresh ideas" on this matter.
Putin's aide also stated that the Kremlin expects Whitkoff and Kushner to convey the "signals" received during the meeting with Putin to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
