The words of Vladimir Putin's adviser are quoted by Anadolu Agency. Ushakov said that “Russia knows one of the options for the US peace plan, but no specific negotiations are taking place.” Referring to the European leaders' plan, he said that Russia “is aware of it” but “claims that its provisions are unconstructive and inappropriate for Russia.”
European plan for Ukraine
On the occasion of Saturday's G20 summit in Johannesburg, South Africa, several European leaders prepared a counterproposal to the 28-point US plan. These politicians – as they emphasized – assumed that Washington's initiative was only a “basis that would require further work”.
A copy of the draft by European leaders, obtained by the Washington Post, predicts that no restrictions will be imposed on the armed forces of Ukraine. Kiev would also regain control over the Zaporizhia Nuclear Power Plant and the Kakhov Hydroelectric Power Plant, and would also enjoy “unrestricted right of passage” on the Dnieper and would exercise sovereignty over the Kinburn Spit (the westernmost part of the Kinburn Peninsula, separating the mouth of the Dnieper and Bohu Rivers from the Black Sea).
Other territorial disputes — in line with the European proposal – would only be resolved after a ceasefire. According to Reuters, citing a German source who wished to remain anonymous, Europeans sent a draft of a new peace plan to the Ukrainian and American administrations on Saturday.
