Putin rejects demilitarized zones in Ukraine during Kremlin talks with US envoys

quotidiano.net (Italian) —

Russian President Vladimir Putin met with US envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff at the Kremlin for about two hours, praising a prisoner exchange but rejecting demilitarized zones in Ukraine, insisting only the state border is valid. Putin dismissed Ukrainian proposals for "grey zones" or demilitarized areas, saying they would remain a source of contention, and ruled out foreign peacekeepers, calling their deployment a "continuation of the war." Moscow claims slow gains in Donetsk. The US envoys left for Dublin to meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on the sidelines of a European summit, with Witkoff reporting "progress" after the talks.
