Moscow and the US failed to make progress on a deal to end the almost four-year war in Ukraine during talks, a senior aide to Russian President Vladimir Putin said.
In remarks to Russian media, Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov said that after a five-hour meeting with US envoy Steve Witkoff and President Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner both sides "neither further nor closer to resolving the crisis in Ukraine. There is a lot of work to be done".
The comments came just hours after the autocratic Russian leader issued threats that he was ready for war with Europe.
