Vladimir Putin said that any settlement regarding the war in Ukraine should be permanent, using the phrase \u201ceternal peace<\/em>\u201d when he opened the meeting at the Kremlin with US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner on November 12.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cAs for the longevity of peace, its reliability and consistency, we too would like it to be an eternal peace<\/em>,\u201d Putin said, according to the official interpreter.<\/p>\n

The American negotiators had travelled from Abu Dhabi, where trilateral talks between Russia, the United States, and Ukraine had taken place on November 10 and 11. Putin asked them to convey his thanks to President Donald Trump for organizing these contacts<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Foreign troops and grey areas<\/strong><\/p>\n

The peace rhetoric was conditional. Putin said the presence of foreign armed forces on Ukrainian territory was \u201cabsolutely unacceptable<\/em>\u201d because, from Moscow’s perspective, it would threaten Russia’s national security.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll foreign forces stationed there will be considered legitimate targets of the Russian armed forces<\/em>,\u201d he said, according to TASS<\/em>. If European troops were to invade Ukraine after an agreement, \u201cthe war would start again immediately<\/em>,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

He also argued that so-called \u201cgrey areas<\/em>\u201d would destabilize any agreement. \u201cFor Russia, there is only one demarcation line with Ukraine \u2013 the state border<\/em>,\u201d Putin said. He asked Washington to cooperate with European governments and help them decide \u201cwhat they want \u2013 peace or war<\/em>.\u201d US envoys had already asked them to urge Moscow to submit a new proposal on European security.<\/p>\n

Humanitarian mission in Kostiantynivka<\/strong><\/p>\n

Putin proposed a humanitarian mission to evacuate civilians from Kostyantynivka in Donetsk, modelled on a previous operation in Oleshky in the occupied Kherson region. He thanked First Lady Melania Trump for her role in that earlier operation.<\/p>\n

He said there were still about 400 to 500 civilians in the town and that Russia needed five days to clear the surrounding area of mines. He claimed that Russia controlled Kostyantynivka and was prepared to guarantee the mission’s safety; if Kyiv believed it could hold the town, then Ukraine should, in his words, provide security from its side. The claim that Russia controlled the town was not independently verified.<\/p>\n

Envoys report progress to Abu Dhabi<\/strong><\/p>\n

Witkoff described the meeting as important and said the trilateral format had been re-established. An upcoming prisoner exchange \u201cwill be the largest ever<\/em>,\u201d he said. European officials had been informed, even though they were not at the negotiating table in Abu Dhabi. He said he would report back to President Volodymyr Zelensky.<\/p>\n

Kushner said there had been \u201ca major shift among the Europeans<\/em>\u201d and \u201cvery strong momentum<\/em>.\u201d Washington had begun discussing a European security architecture with them. Regarding territorial issues, he told Putin: \u201cWe will go through them and find solutions together<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, no agreement to end the war was announced during the initial exchanges.<\/p>\n
