Ukraine: US, Russia say 'some progress' made in truce talks  DW  12/03/2025
"Both United States and Russian officials said some progress had been made in Tuesday's talks regarding ending the war in Ukraine, however, major roadblocks remain. The hours-long talks between the Russian President Vladimir Putin and US envoy Steve Witkoff, along with President Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner ended without agreement. Top Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov said no compromise had been reached on the critical issue of who would keep which territories in Ukraine but noted that "some American proposals can be discussed.""
"He described the talks as "very useful and constructive" despite Russia's critical, "even negative, stance on a number of proposals." US Secretary of State Marco Rubio told Fox News on Tuesday that talks have focused on identifying terms Kyiv could accept while securing its long-term security. He said the US hopes the agreement would allow Ukrainians "not just to rebuild their economy, but to prosper as a country.""
