Post-Moscow Talks: Kremlin Seeks Clarity on US-Ukraine Consultations Following Putin-Witkoff Meeting

The Kremlin has signaled that it is crucial for Moscow to be informed of the outcomes stemming from recent consultations between the United States and Ukraine. Russian Presidential Spokesperson Dmitry Peskov confirmed to journalists that "considerable work" was accomplished during the Moscow meeting between President Vladimir Putin and US Envoy Steve Witkoff .

Following that high-level meeting, Peskov noted that Witkoff, along with Jared Kushner , proceeded to work on those results directly with the Ukrainian negotiating delegation, which was led by Rustem Umerov (former Minister of Defense).

Future Outlook:

• Bilateral Ties: Peskov stated that the Kremlin sees potential for the restoration of Russian-American relations , provided that the "current points of friction are eliminated."

• Strategic Concerns: Despite this optimistic view, Moscow remains apprehensive about how a potential change in the White House administration might lead to modifications in the American national security strategy .
