Vladimir Chizhov
1. The fact that they sat for 12 hours and seemed to agree on a joint statement, which however was not adopted due to Ukraine's position, is also very characteristic and symptomatic.
Dmitry Peskov
Kremlin
1. Our armed forces are following all instructions of the supreme commander-in-chief, but of course we are monitoring the situation very closely. Our American interlocutors are also able to monitor the situation and draw the appropriate conclusions.
2. The potential for mutually beneficial cooperation between our countries cannot be overstated.
Rustem Umerov
Ukraine Defense Ministry
1. We are implementing the president of Ukraine's directive to bring a just peace closer and to strengthen security.
Andriy Sybiha
Ukraine Foreign Ministry
1. Any diplomacy with Moscow must be backed up by firepower, sanctions and pressure.
Volodymyr Zelenskiy
Ukraine Government
1. The conversation is quite useful, the work of the delegations is continuing.
2. Russia is the only one dragging this war out.
3. Without pressure on Russia, those in Moscow will continue to show contempt for real diplomacy and keep destroying lives.
4. I believe Russia has managed to influence some people on the White House team through information.
Steven Witkoff
US State Department
1. The ultimate goal is a 30-day ceasefire, during which time we discuss a permanent ceasefire. We're not far away from that.
2. I don't regard Putin as a bad guy. That is a complicated situation, that war and all the ingredients that led up to it.
3. I think you're going to see in Saudi Arabia on Monday some real progress, particularly as it affects a Black Sea ceasefire on ships between both countries.
Serhiy Leshchenko
1. Normally, negotiations don't last a day. Sometimes they last months, and some, like agreements in the Middle East, last years.
