00:00Russian President Vladimir Putin hosted U.S. Envoy Steve Witkoff and Donald Trump's son-in-law
00:06Jared Kushner at the Kremlin on Tuesday. The meeting is part of a new push by the
00:11Trump administration to broker a peace deal in the four-year Ukraine war.
00:18The conversation was very useful, constructive and highly substantive,
00:24and it lasted not for five minutes, but for five hours.
00:33This allowed us to thoroughly discuss the prospects for further joint efforts
00:37aimed at achieving a long-term peaceful resolution of the Ukrainian crisis.
00:47The meeting came days after U.S. officials held what they described as productive talks
00:53with the Ukrainian delegation, but said there was more work to be done.
00:58A U.S.-backed peace plan became public last month and raised concerns about being tilted
01:02heavily towards Moscow. Also on Tuesday, the Kremlin released a video it claimed showed
01:09troops waving a Russian flag in the Ukrainian city of Pokrovsk. The video hasn't been verified.
01:16Ukrainian President Zelensky said on Monday that fighting was still ongoing.
