There is currently no set date for the next meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff, Yuri Ushakov, an aide to Russian dictator Vladimir Putin told Russian propaganda media on Dec. 5.

No "agreement has been reached on the date of the next meeting" or a phone call between the two leaders. 

According to Ushakov, Moscow is now waiting for Washington’s response to the outcome of the Dec. 2 negotiations.

On Dec. 2, Putin met with Witkoff and Kushner at the Kremlin for what Russian media described as a five-hour meeting, although the Russian dictator reportedly arrived about two and a half hours late. The talks focused on proposals to end Russia’s war in Ukraine, based on a peace plan developed during discussions between Ukrainian and American delegations in Florida on Nov. 30.

Ushakov later said that no breakthrough had been reached on the proposed peace plan yet.

The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.

Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.

For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
