Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov refused to disclose details of the "compromises" discussed during talks between Russian leader Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump, according to Russian media.
Peskov described the meeting in Alaska as "very substantive, useful, and necessary," adding that the Kremlin considers it to have been highly productive.
He said various issues related to a Ukrainian settlement were discussed, as well as US peacekeeping efforts.
Peskov emphasized that publicly discussing the details out of context "would hardly be useful for achieving results" and urged that work continue in a non-public format.
According to him, only this approach would allow for "real agreements" and progress in peaceful resolution.
Trilateral meeting of Zelenskyy, Trump, and Putin
After nearly three hours of talks between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin in Alaska on August 15, international attention shifted to Washington, where on August 18, the US President held discussions with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
European leaders also joined the discussions, covering several issues, including security guarantees for Ukraine.
Following consultations, the US proposed holding a trilateral meeting of the United States, Ukraine, and Russia on August 22. Zelenskyy expressed willingness to participate in any configuration.
Meanwhile, Russia has not publicly confirmed its participation and continues to set conditions, complicating the agreement on the date and location of the summit.
European diplomats are actively seeking an optimal venue for the meeting, taking into account the complex political situation and the need to ensure the safety of all participants.
