Moscow and Washington are assessing the outcome of the extensive discussions, spokesperson Dmitry Peskov has stated

Details of the extensive talks between Russian and US officials in Saudi Arabia on Monday will not be made public, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said.

The two delegations engaged in nearly 12 hours of dialogue in Riyadh, focusing on ways to de-escalate the Ukraine conflict. During a regular press briefing on Tuesday, Peskov emphasized that the specifics will remain undisclosed.

"The outcomes of the marathon Russian-American negotiations have been relayed to the respective capitals and are currently under analysis," he stated. "These were technical talks, which involved an in-depth exploration of details, so naturally, the content of those discussions will not be made public."

Peskov said Moscow does not foresee a direct conversation between Russian President Vladimir Putin and his US counterpart, Donald Trump, following the latest diplomatic engagement. Additionally, there is no expectation of trilateral talks involving Ukraine at this time. Peskov said further interactions with the Trump administration will occur in due course.

In recent days, American officials have held separate meetings with Russian and Ukrainian delegations in Saudi Arabia. Reports suggest that the talks centered on the possible revival of the Black Sea Grain Initiative, a defunct agreement initially facilitated by the UN and Türkiye.

Moscow withdrew from the deal in July 2023, citing Ukraine's misuse of its terms and the West's failure to lift sanctions on Russian exports of fertilizers and foodstuffs, which had been promised in exchange for ensuring the safety of Ukrainian shipments.
