U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff is meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin to discuss a peace plan that Washington hopes can end the nearly four-year war in Ukraine.

By Guy Faulconbridge, Anton Kolodyazhnyy and Maxim Rodionov MOSCOW, Dec 3 (Reuters) - Russia and the U.S. did not reach a compromise on a possible peace deal to end the war in Ukraine after a five-hour Kremlin meeting between President Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump's top envoys,

The two sides did not reach any specific compromises, an aide to President Vladimir V. Putin said, as the United States pushes a plan to end the war in Ukraine.

The presidents of Ukraine and Russia are expected to be briefed this week on outcomes of Sunday's U.S.-Ukraine talks.

Russia's Vladimir Putin hosted US negotiators at the Kremlin on Tuesday for five hours of talks aimed at ending the war in Ukraine. Putin's aide Yuri Ushakov said the discussions - held behind closed doors with US envoy Steve Witkoff and President Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner - were "constructive" but "a lot of work lies ahead".

Russian President Vladimir Putin appeared last week to be cautiously optimistic on the U.S. 28-point peace plan to end his invasion of Ukraine.

The U.S. adversary promises swift defeat for Europe should it ever provoke Russia, ignoring its current struggles to conquer Ukraine.
