The marathon conversation between the parties ended around 10:30 p.m. on Tuesday evening Swedish time, reports the state-controlled Russian news agency Tass.
Ushakov, who is a close advisor to Putin, stated after the meeting that some of the points put forward by the US are acceptable from a Russian point of view while others are not, Tass quotes. During the meeting, Putin's delegation received four documents from the Americans in addition to the list of points that the countries had previously discussed.
The meeting discussed, among other things, territorial issues, according to Ushakov. He also announced that there is no meeting between Putin and his American counterpart Donald Trump planned at the moment, adding that they agreed not to publish any details from the conversation.
“A lot of work” remains, notes Ushakov.
Putin: Ready for war
At the meeting in the Russian capital, the United States was also represented by President Donald Trump's son-in-law, businessman Jared Kushner.
The talks have been surrounded by intense diplomatic overtures, appeals and warnings.
The Russian president sent a threat to European countries if they put forward “unacceptable proposals.” He claimed that “we are ready” if Europe wants war with Russia, AFP reports.
The leader of the attacked country in Russia's full-scale war of invasion, President Volodymyr Zelensky, continued his intensive diplomatic efforts to make Ukraine's voice heard.
Zelenskyy wrote on X during the ongoing meeting that he is waiting for signals from the American delegation.
"There will be no easy solution to this war. We are aware of what is happening. We know who we are dealing with," he wrote, pleading that nothing be decided without Ukraine's participation.
“Must pay”
For Steve Witkoff, the visit is his sixth to Russia this year.
On Monday, the US envoy spoke by phone with President Zelensky and French President Emmanuel Macron, who met in Paris.
At that time, Zelenskyy emphasized the importance of a peace solution not rewarding Russia for the war of invasion.
The attacker must pay for the aggression, he said.
Zelensky wrote on X on Tuesday that Russia's real intentions with its "diplomatic engagement" are to get the outside world to ease its sanctions against the country.
