Russian presidential aide Yuri Ushakov confirmed that the discussions about raising the level of the Russian and Ukrainian delegations in potential negotiations “do not accurately reflect” what was discussed by the Russian and American presidents during the Alaska summit.
Ushakov told Russia 1 channel correspondent Pavel Zarubin regarding the idea of raising the level of the Russian and Ukrainian delegations: “This idea was discussed during a phone call between Presidents Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump, then it was raised again during the meeting in Anchorage. The Americans told us they would discuss the matter among themselves and then present some specific proposals.”
Responding to a question about whether there are already specific proposals, Ushakov said: “No, so far what is published in the press and circulated does not fully reflect what was agreed there.”
The Russian presidential aide added: “The current talk is about a trilateral meeting, or a meeting between Putin and Zelensky, but to my knowledge, no agreement has been reached on this matter between Presidents Putin and Trump.”
Earlier, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova confirmed that there is no coordination yet on raising the level of the Russian and Ukrainian delegations in possible negotiations to resolve the conflict.
It is worth noting that the summit between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump took place on August 15 in Anchorage, Alaska. The bilateral talks in a “3 versus 3” format lasted two hours and 45 minutes, with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and presidential aide Yuri Ushakov representing Russia, while US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and the US President’s special envoy Steve Witkoff represented the American side.
After the talks, both leaders indicated their intention to achieve tangible results and noted many areas of joint work. They also expressed readiness to work on ending the conflict in Ukraine.
