0:20Now PlayingVladimir Putin exchanged “signals” with Donald Trump on the war in Ukraine at Kremlin talks with US envoy Steve Witkoff, a top Russian official said Wednesday.
“On our part, in particular, some signals were conveyed on the Ukrainian issue,” the Russian president’s foreign policy aide, Yuri Ushakov, told reporters, without elaborating. “Corresponding signals were also received from President Trump.”
The meeting took place just two days before an Aug. 8 deadline Trump set for Russia to reach a truce in the war or face potential sanctions. While Putin has said he won’t abandon his campaign in Ukraine, people familiar with the situation said the Kremlin might offer the US concessions that could include halting airstrikes in a bid to avert new economic penalties.
Ushakov said the negotiations that lasted almost three hours were “useful and constructive,” and also focused on prospects for developing US-Russia relations. Moscow will wait for Witkoff to report back to Trump before commenting further, he said.
