As speculation about the US-proposed peace plan grows, Moscow says it’s yet to receive anything official from Washington on the actual proposition.
The widely leaked US plan includes proposals that Kyiv had previously ruled out, such as ceding areas of the eastern Donetsk region that it still controls, reducing its army in size, and pledging not to join Nato.
“We are seeing some new elements, but officially we haven’t received anything. There has been no substantive discussion of those points,” Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov has said.
He adds that Russia remained “completely open to peace talks”.
The draft plan has emerged as Russia claims small territorial gains in eastern Ukraine and Zelensky faces a domestic crisis implicating top officials in a $100m (£76m) corruption scandal.
