Moscow: Russia has reviewed the latest version of a US plan aimed at ending the Ukraine war and has found certain elements to be favorable, although other components necessitate further dialogue, the Kremlin announced on Wednesday. In a conversation with a Russian state TV reporter, Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov emphasized the need for "truly serious analysis" of the new draft and noted that Russia had not yet conferred about it with any other parties.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, Ushakov stated, "Some aspects can be viewed positively, but many require special discussions among experts." He made these comments to a state TV reporter, highlighting that Washington's latest plan has not yet been released to the public.
US President Donald Trump revealed on Tuesday that this version is a "fine-tuned" iteration of an earlier 28-point plan. The earlier proposal had suggested that Ukraine withdraw from its Donetsk region and reduce its military size, points that Kyiv had criticized. However, following discussions in Geneva, Ukraine announced it had reached an "understanding" with the US, with both parties agreeing to revise some of the disputed points.
Trump further mentioned that US officials are set to meet with both sides in hopes of finalizing the agreement. The Kremlin also confirmed that US special envoy Steve Witkoff is scheduled to visit Moscow next week for discussions with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Additionally, Ushakov criticized European involvement in the peace talks, accusing them of "meddling" in the process of ending the war.
