High-stakes U.S.-Russia talks on ending the war in Ukraine failed to yield a breakthrough on Tuesday, as the Kremlin said ¡°no compromise¡± had been found yet on the key question of territory.

Russian President Vladimir Putin met U.S. President Donald Trump¡¯s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, and special envoy, Steve Witkoff, in the Kremlin, after earlier signalling that his forces were ready to fight on to achieve Russia¡¯s initial war goals.

The meeting is a crucial moment for Ukraine in what could be a fraught week following days of frantic diplomacy. At the heart of it is a U.S. plan to bring peace, which has since been revised under pressure from Kyiv and its European backers.
