Kremlin says US has not shared results of recent Ukraine talks

The Kremlin has stated it is awaiting information from the United States regarding the outcomes of recent diplomatic talks between American and Ukrainian officials. Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Monday that while communication lines between Moscow and Washington remain active following the discussions in Florida, Russia has not been briefed on the results. "The results haven't reached us yet," Peskov said, according to the Tass news agency.

Context of the US-Ukraine Discussions

The high-level talks in question involved US President Donald Trump's special envoy, Steve Witkoff, and the President's son-in-law and informal advisor, Jared Kushner, who met with Ukrainian officials for three days. The discussions concluded with a phone call between the US delegation and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Reports from US media suggest Washington is exploring new approaches to territorial issues in the conflict.

Avoidance of Public Diplomacy and Awaiting Substance

When questioned about both sides' apparent avoidance of "megaphone diplomacy" — conducting negotiations through public statements — Peskov declined to elaborate. He reiterated that Moscow had not heard any concrete statements from Kyiv in the wake of the meetings. Russian officials have previously indicated they are waiting to see if the latest consultations yield substantive proposals concerning security or territorial arrangements.

Implications for Conflict Diplomacy

This development highlights the opaque and delicate nature of current diplomatic efforts to resolve the Ukraine war. The lack of immediate information sharing points to the complexity of negotiations and the cautious positions held by all parties. For Türkiye, which has positioned itself as a potential mediator and maintains dialogue with both Russia and Ukraine, such behind-the-scenes diplomacy underscores the challenging environment for achieving a sustainable peace agreement.
