00:05to discuss a plan to end the war in Ukraine.
00:07A U.S. delegation was made up by Steve Wyckoff and Jared Kushner, together with senior advisor
00:13to Trump's so-called Board of Peace Josh Gruenbaum.
00:17On the other hand, Putin was accompanied by his foreign policy aide Yuri Ushakov and
00:22special envoy Kirill Dmitriev.
00:24The talks come after President Trump announced that a deal to end the Ukraine conflict was
00:29reasonably close, and after a week of sight, negotiations had gone down to only one issue
00:36without naming it.
00:37Moscow has demanded that Ukraine surrender the 20 percent it still holds of the eastern
