According to Anadolu, citing the Russian side, the meeting also included Russian presidential aide Yuri Ushakov and Putin's special representative Kirill Dmitriev. After the negotiations, Whitcoff and Kushner left the Kremlin and headed to Vnukovo Airport. ### What they brought from Washington On Friday, Donald Trump told reporters that his representatives were heading to Moscow with a specific proposal. — They are bringing a proposal to end the war, — said the US president. Trump did not disclose the details of the document, only noting that it was not a set of new ideas, but rather a proposal aimed at ending the war that has been ongoing for more than four years. Whitcoff and Kushner arrived in Moscow on Saturday. According to flight tracking data, the US government plane flew in from Helsinki, where it had previously arrived from the United States. Kirill Dmitriev met the American representatives at the airport. As reported by DPA, they had to wait several hours for a meeting with Putin. Before the negotiations, he participated in the opening of a new line of the Moscow metro, remotely connected to the opening of an oil terminal in Siberia, and conducted other events. Before the start of the negotiations, Putin stated that the conversation would not be easy and that he intended to present his vision of the situation in the war to the American representatives. He emphasized that Moscow trusts Whitcoff and Kushner and feels "comfortable working" with them. At the beginning of the meeting, Putin asked to convey his best wishes and words of gratitude to Trump. The American representatives, in turn, conveyed greetings from the US president. ### Three days without strikes on Kyiv A separate topic was the security of the American delegation during its trip from Moscow to Kyiv. Ukraine had previously announced that it would refrain from airstrikes on Moscow while the US representatives were in Russia and Ukraine. Subsequently, the Kremlin reported a three-day pause in Russian strikes on Kyiv. According to Putin, strikes on the Ukrainian capital had not been carried out since midnight on September 5, and the request for a temporary cessation of attacks came through official channels. Whitcoff thanked for this decision, stating that it would allow for the organization of the American delegation's trip to Kyiv. ### Now — Kyiv After Moscow, Whitcoff and Kushner are to head to the Ukrainian capital. The visit is scheduled for Sunday, September 6. This will be their first trip to Kyiv as part of the current negotiation process. The Trump representatives have already visited Moscow multiple times. According to Anadolu, Saturday's meeting was the sixth round of contacts between Putin and American negotiators since the beginning of the US mediation efforts. Previously, Whitcoff and Kushner visited Moscow at the end of January and also met with Putin in the Kremlin. As of the evening of September 5, the parties have not yet provided detailed information on the specific results of the more than three-hour negotiations. Therefore, the main question remains open: what exactly is contained in the proposal brought from Washington, and whether Moscow and Washington managed to bring their positions closer ahead of the upcoming negotiations of the American representatives in Kyiv.
