Witkoff spent almost five hours with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Tuesday in negotiations which the Kremlin said produced "no compromise" on ending the war in Ukraine.

US President Donald Trump said the talks were "reasonably good", but it was too soon to say what would happen as "it does take two to tango."

Putin later said reaching a consensus would not be an "easy task", reportedly highlighting Moscow's repeated demand that Ukrainian troops withdraw from the Donbas region - an area occupied by Russian forces.

On Thursday, Russian state media reported Putin as saying: "It all comes down to this. Either we liberate these territories by force of arms or Ukrainian troops will leave these territories and stop fighting there."
