Ushakov:

▪️The meeting lasted almost three hours. (Kushner was not in St. Petersburg either. So he really did fall ill, — editor's note.)

▪️Putin noted the Europeans' and Kyiv's new approaches following the talks in Oslo, although there was not all that much useful in them.

▪️Putin informed Witkoff that he was ready to resume trilateral talks in early November on building a security system for Russia and Ukraine after the end of the conflict.

▪️The Russian forces have the strategic initiative along the line of contact in full. An uninterrupted offensive is underway in all directions. Ukraine's military-industrial, energy, and logistics facilities are being effectively destroyed.

▪️The diesel deal serves American and Russian interests and will contribute to stabilizing the global market.

▪️Some of the large-scale economic projects are approaching the start of implementation.

▪️Putin decided to pardon Stephen Hubbard. Witkoff thanked Putin for this gesture of goodwill.

▪️The issue of a meeting between Putin, Trump, and Xi Jinping in Shenzhen was raised. Chinese friends are already preparing the meeting.

I would say there was nothing at all, if not for the summit in Shenzhen. We will somehow have to survive this latest disgrace for America and Trump's attempt to hand Ukraine over to Putin.
