"The US President's original 28-point peace plan, which was accepted by the Kremlin, had called for a "neutral, demilitarized buffer zone" to be established once Ukrainian troops withdraw from the Donbas region and the Luhansk and Donetsk oblasts, in preparation for Kyiv to cede territory."
"Putin has ordered that all Russia n forces to "continue to carry out war tasks and are advancing confidently across the entire front.""
""Commanders of the group of forces must continue to carry out tasks in strict accordance with the plan of the special military operation.""

Vladimir Putin has ordered Russian forces to continue offensive operations and to advance across the front, directing commanders to follow the special military operation plan. The original US 28-point plan called for a neutral demilitarized buffer zone after Ukrainian withdrawal, a step Kyiv fears would freeze the conflict and allow Russian regrouping. European and US officials seek preparatory talks before any meeting between the two presidents.
