Kremlin: Trump’s peace plan can be a good basis for negotiations

According to Isna, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov considered the proposal of US President Donald Trump to resolve the conflict in Ukraine as fundamental and added: “We believe that this can be a very good basis for negotiations.”

According to the Rianavosti News agency, he also said that he will not comment on the media reports regarding the meeting of the US Secretary of the Army Daniel Driscoll with the Russian officials.

Earlier today, Politico reported that Driscoll had been presented with a revised version of the U.S. proposal to end the war in Ukraine, but Peskov said, “We’re not saying anything yet.” We are monitoring media reports. We analyze them.”

The Kremlin official continued: “Moscow has not received any updated version of this plan.”

He went on to say: “Currently, there is no plan for a dialogue between Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping, the presidents of Russia and China.”

The Kremlin official also said that Russia is waiting for the United States to share its plans for peace in Ukraine through appropriate channels.
He also did not rule out the possibility that the time for contact between Russia and the United States regarding this peace plan will come at some point and he continued: “Work is being done based on the draft peace plan of Donald Trump and between the United States and Ukraine.” “Russia’s turn will come and this country will be involved in the basic work on the American plan to resolve the crisis in Ukraine.”
The Kremlin spokesman said: Russia is grateful to Türkiye for its willingness to provide conditions for the continuation of the process of negotiations between Russia and Ukraine.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan expressed his intention to help the negotiations and his desire to make Istanbul available for these purposes during a phone call with Vladimir Putin on Monday.
Dmitry Peskov further announced that Moscow has noticed that amendments are being made to the published text of Donald Trump’s plan to resolve the Ukraine crisis and continued: “We are aware that some amendments are being made to the published text. We understand that the text, which was previously received unofficially by us, has now undergone changes.”
This official in the Kremlin noted: “A draft of the US plan for Ukraine has been presented to Russia, and this document is largely in line with the spirit of the Anchorage agreement.” “There is a lot of conflicting information and statements about the US peace plan for Ukraine, and it shows that there is an information chaos going on.”
A Kremlin spokesman said the Istanbul talks were halted through no fault of Russia, as Ukraine disrupted the process. Russia is still interested in achieving its goals through political and diplomatic means.
“We are interested in achieving our goals through political and diplomatic means,” Peskov told reporters. In this context, our position has not changed in any way, this position has been confirmed many times by the president of our country and we always adhere to this position. “Russia is fully open to the negotiation process regarding Ukraine.”
This Russian diplomat also said about the role of Europe in the Ukrainian peace process, it is impossible to talk about a security system without the participation of Europe, and at some point it will be necessary.
