Vladimir Putin digs in over any Ukraine peace deal after talks with Donald Trump Vladimir Putin was digging in over any possible Ukraine peace deal after talks with Donald Trump.
The Kremlin, commenting last month after Trump said he wanted to work towards cutting nuclear arms, said that the Russian President had made clear he wanted to restart nuclear arms cuts talks as soon as possible.
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov, who oversees US relations and arms control, said on Monday that all of Putin’s conditions for ending the war in Ukraine must be met before any settlement is possible.
Keith Kellogg, the US special envoy for Ukraine and Russia, told allies in recent meetings that he was preparing options to end the war in Ukraine, news website Semafor reported on Monday, citing three unnamed Western officials.
But Ryabkov said that the US wanted three-way arms talks, including China, while Moscow wanted five-way arms talks.
