In his Dec. 3 interview with India Today, Russian President Vladimir Putin discussed the recent meeting with U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner in Moscow, and the proposal they brought regarding ending the conflict in Ukraine. “What our U.S. colleagues brought us was based one way or another on our agreements from my meeting with President Trump in Alaska, as we discussed these issues at the meeting in Anchorage,” Putin said. “But what the Americans brought us now, we hadn’t yet seen, and so we had to go over almost every point, which is why it took so long. So it was a necessary conversation, absolutely concrete and thorough.”
