MOSCOW (AA) - Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov confirmed on Friday that Russian President Vladimir Putin will discuss the Ukrainian settlement with US presidential envoy Steve Witkoff later in the day.

Speaking at a press briefing in Moscow, Peskov said the meeting will last as long as necessary to convey Russia's position. Moscow views this contact as an opportunity to communicate its concerns to US President Donald Trump.

The possibility of a meeting between Putin and Trump might also be discussed during the encounter, he added.

The official cautioned against high expectations from the meeting, noting that breakthrough results from Witkoff's visit to Russia should not be anticipated.

He said Moscow and Washington continue to work "scrupulously," keeping each other informed of their respective positions.
