“No, we have not yet received any information. We, of course, are very carefully monitoring all the media reports that have been abundant over the past few days, including from Geneva, but we have not yet received anything officially,” Peskov said.
He added that Moscow does not know what text of the peace plan was developed during American-Ukrainian contacts. According to Peskov, the Kremlin does not want to discuss the “US plan for Ukraine” based on news in the media, “it considers this impossible and incorrect.”
He did not mention that there are suspicions about the authorship of the first proposed version of the peace plan, which may belong to the Russian Federation.
The media wrote that the proposal for a peace plan had been privately developed over the past few weeks by the team of US President Donald Trump, led by his special envoy Steve Witkoff, in consultation with Russian special envoy Kirill Dmitriev. The United States denied the Russian authorship of the document, but British journalist Luke Harding, when analyzing the text, noticed Russianisms in it.
Context
Following the negotiations in Geneva, the United States and Ukraine released a joint statement stating that the parties had prepared an updated and revised peace framework document.
What exactly is in the document has not been officially announced. But Ukrainian media wrote, citing sources, that the delegations were able to agree on most of the norms of the previously proposed document and adjusted a significant part of the controversial issues. In particular, we are talking about issues of the size of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant, the format for the exchange of prisoners and the return of convicts.
The delegations allegedly agreed to “put out of the brackets” the clauses concerning territories and enshrining in the Constitution Ukraine’s refusal to join NATO. These issues should be discussed and agreed upon at the level of heads of state during a meeting between Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky and US President Donald Trump.
