Russian President Vladimir Putin held five hours of talks at the Kremlin with US President Donald Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff on efforts to end the nearly four-year war in Ukraine, but "no compromise" was reached on territorial issues, senior Kremlin adviser Yuri Ushakov said.

Ushakov said the meeting was one of the most extensive exchanges between Washington and Moscow since the conflict began. He noted that both delegations reviewed potential paths toward a settlement, but key disputes remained unresolved.

"We are no closer to resolving the crisis in Ukraine, and there is much work to be done," he said, confirming that while fresh proposals were presented by the US side, major sticking points persisted around Ukrainian territory.
