The United States allegedly shared with Russia the parameters of a peace plan that had been coordinated with Ukraine during talks in Geneva, according to a statement made by Russian President Vladimir Putin's press secretary, Dmitry Peskov, and cited by Russian media.
"The main parameters have been transmitted," Peskov said regarding the peace plan agreed upon by the US and Ukraine in Geneva.
He added that the plan’s parameters will be discussed with the US next week in Moscow.
"Who should recognize the territorial realities between Russia and Ukraine will be determined in negotiations," the Kremlin spokesperson added.
Negotiations in Geneva
Recently, the media published the US peace plan for ending the war in Ukraine. It originally contained 28 points, most of which conflicted with Ukraine’s interests.
On November 23, Ukrainian and US delegations held talks in Geneva regarding the US peace plan to end Russia’s war against Ukraine.
Following the talks, the Financial Times reported that the document had been significantly reduced — from 28 points to 19.
Meanwhile, former US President Donald Trump claimed the plan had been shortened to 22 points.
The Ukrainian delegation stated after the meeting that there was a "shared understanding of the key terms of the agreement" and noted that President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s visit to the US could take place "at the earliest possible date in November" to continue discussions with Trump.
Andriy Yermak, head of the Ukrainian President's Office, said that later this week, Ukrainian and US delegations will continue negotiations on the US peace plan to further develop and consolidate the results achieved in Geneva.
At the same time, Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that Russia allegedly agrees the US peace plan could serve as "a basis for future arrangements," but the Kremlin refuses to consider it a draft peace agreement.
