Russian Presidential aide Yuri Ushakov announced on September 13 that the Russian Federation has not intensified its demands for a resolution of the conflict in Ukraine. The official stated, “The requirements remain unchanged; there is no tightening. We simply want these conditions to be met sooner rather than later.”
Ushakov emphasized that negotiations between Moscow and Kyiv would begin from agreements reached during the recent Russian-American summit in Anchorage, which form the core of any potential settlement. He acknowledged the process would be “both lengthy and difficult.”
Discussions also addressed issues related to Crimea and what was described as “the university admission campaign” within Ukraine.
On September 13, an aide to President Vladimir Putin noted that no comprehensive agreement on Ukraine has been reached by all parties. The official stated substantial work remains, particularly in resolving territorial disputes. According to Jared Kushner—son-in-law of U.S. President Joe Biden and a key American negotiator—the issue of territory is the most complex.
