Russian President Vladimir Putin has rejected territorial compromise and ruled out foreign peacekeeping troops during talks with US envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff in Moscow on Thursday.

Putin described the deployment of foreign peacekeepers as a "continuation of war" and insisted on Russian control over annexed Ukrainian territories.

The meeting followed two days of US-mediated negotiations between Russian and Ukrainian delegations in Abu Dhabi, where significant differences remained over key principles.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy attended a summit of more than 40 European nations in Dublin, describing a "window of opportunity" for peace.

Although the delegations agreed on a prisoner exchange, broader negotiations remain complicated by disagreements over Europe's security framework and future security guarantees. NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte stressed the importance of reaching agreement on those guarantees.
