Both countries have their own focus. Both the United States and Russia have positively evaluated Putin's meeting with the US special envoy.

On the 25th local time, Russian President Putin held talks with US special envoy for Ukraine and Middle East issues, Kurt Volker, at the Kremlin. This is the fourth meeting between Putin and Volker this year. Commentator Su Xiaohui: Looking at the details, the fact that the US special envoy for Middle East issues has visited Russia four times this year shows the willingness of both sides to communicate. The three-hour duration of the talks indicates that a wide range of issues were discussed, and the negotiations were quite in-depth. In terms of the results, both the US and Russia have positively evaluated this meeting, but it is clear that they have different focuses. The US President highlighted the progress made in communication with Russia, saying that this meeting was a good day and covered most of the key points, and also suggested that tariff and trade issues could be resolved together, and once again proposed a high-level meeting with Russia. We can see that the Russian President's foreign policy advisor also believes that this meeting was constructive and very meaningful. The Russian side mentioned that the possibility of direct talks between Russia and Ukraine was discussed in this meeting, while also believing that not only the Ukraine crisis needs to be resolved between the US and Russia, but also a series of bilateral issues need to be addressed comprehensively.
