"The Kremlin rejects the European peace plan and the progress agreed upon between the United States and Ukraine, and insists that negotiations should begin with Washington's original proposal, which left Kyiv on the verge of surrender. Moscow took this position on Monday following intense negotiations held last weekend in Europe, emphasizing that no agreement has yet been reached. The Kremlin is aware of the European peace plan."
"The original initiative launched by Washington consisted of 28 points, including the transfer of the entire Donetsk and Luhansk regions to Russia, a freeze on the conflict in Kherson and Zaporizhzhia, and a firm rejection of Ukraine's entry into NATO. Following a meeting Sunday between delegations from Kyiv and Washington in Geneva, the new peace plan had been reduced to 19 points and included some of Ukraine's main demands, according to the Financial Times."
Russia rejects the European peace plan and insists negotiations should restart from Washington's original proposal. Moscow took this stance after intense weekend talks in Europe and says no agreement exists. Yuri Ushakov called the European provisions unconstructive and unsuitable for Russia. Vladimir Putin reiterated to Turkey that Donald Trump's original 28-point proposal could serve as the basis for a settlement. The original U.S. plan included transfer of Donetsk and Luhansk to Russia, a freeze in Kherson and Zaporizhzhia, and rejection of Ukraine joining NATO. A Geneva meeting reduced the plan to 19 points, and territorial and NATO issues were postponed for higher-level debate. Russia says it has received a draft and will review and modify it, but no concrete negotiations have occurred.
