The Kremlin says Russian President Vladimir Putin accepted some proposals in a U.S.-backed peace plan for Ukraine,
but he rejected others.
NPR's Charles Mainz reports.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov rejected the idea Russia had dismissed the U.S.
peace plan outright, saying Putin's give-and-take over U.S.
proposals was a normal part of the negotiating process.
Peskov said Moscow remained open to future meetings to narrow differences,
but that Russia preferred diplomacy out of the public eye.
The comments came after a late-night marathon meeting between Putin and White House envoys Steve Wittkopf and Jared Kushner.
The Kremlin failed to reach a compromise.
The Americans had sought Putin's support for a revised US peace plan for Ukraine,
one that included more input from Ukraine and Europe after an earlier draft was criticized as heavily weighted in Russia's favor.
