Russia and the U.S. have failed to reach a compromise on a proposed peace deal for the Ukraine war after a marathon five-hour meeting between President Vladimir Putin and U.S. President Donald Trump’s envoys in Moscow, the Kremlin confirmed on Wednesday.

The late-night talks — led by Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff and son-in-law Jared Kushner — stretched past midnight. After the meeting, Putin’s top foreign policy aide Yuri Ushakov said that while the discussions were “constructive,” no agreement had been reached.

“Compromises have not yet been found. There is still a lot of work to be done,” Ushakov told reporters.

He noted that the Kremlin sees “huge opportunities” for future U.S.–Russia economic cooperation but admitted Putin reacted unfavorably to some of Washington’s proposals. Witkoff reportedly proceeded to the U.S. Embassy immediately after the talks to brief the White House.

Ushakov also clarified that no meeting between Putin and Trump is currently planned.

A major point of contention was the “territorial problem” — Russia’s demand for full control of Donbas. Ukraine still holds at least 5,000 square kilometers (1,900 square miles) of the region, internationally recognized as Ukrainian territory.

“Some of the American draft proposals look more or less acceptable but require more discussion,” Ushakov said. “But some formulations are not suitable for us. Work will continue.”

He added that Putin sent “important signals” and personal greetings to Trump, although both sides agreed not to disclose details publicly. Ushakov emphasized that the lack of a deal does not mean the parties are further from peace.

The meeting comes as Trump continues to push for a diplomatic end to Europe’s deadliest conflict since World War II — a goal that has so far remained out of reach. Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has repeatedly warned the U.S. against making any decisions about Ukraine “behind its back.”
