kremlin Confirms Receipt of “Main Parameters” of Ukraine Peace Plan Following Geneva Talks
Moscow has acknowledged receiving the core tenets of a proposed peace plan aimed at halting Russian aggression in Ukraine, following discussions involving representatives from Kyiv, the United States, and European nations in Geneva. The advancement signals a potential,albeit cautious,shift toward formal negotiations,though significant details remain undisclosed.
According to a statement attributed to Kremlin Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov, “The main parameters have been transmitted. There will be a conversation in Moscow next week.” This confirmation, reported initially by Russian state news agency Interfax, comes amid a flurry of diplomatic activity and evolving proposals for resolving the ongoing conflict.
Peskov emphasized the need for discretion during the negotiation process. “All these nuances will have to be determined during the negotiations. We don’t want to get ahead of ourselves and conduct a discussion in such a public megaphone format; we consider this wrong,” he stated. He further declined to elaborate on specific demands reportedly made by President Vladimir Putin regarding potential territorial concessions, including whether Ukrainian forces would need to withdraw from not only the Donbass region but also Zaporozhye and Kherson. “We won’t name all the details now.The President called for this yesterday. All this will be discussed,” Peskov concluded.
The Evolving Peace Proposals
The current diplomatic push builds upon a series of proposals that have surfaced in recent weeks. Initial reports, emerging on November 19, indicated a US-led “peace plan” that reportedly included the transfer of the entire Donbass region to Russian control. This plan also allegedly called for Ukraine to limit its military capabilities, reduce its armed forces by half, and grant Russian official status as a second state language.
Further details revealed on November 21 outlined a 28-point proposal demanding Ukraine permanently relinquish its territories and grant Russia amnesty. In response, Great Britain, Germany, and France reportedly prepared counterproposals on November 23, seeking to secure more favorable terms for ukraine.
Negotiations between US and ukrainian delegations in Geneva on November 23 resulted in an “updated” document. The British newspaper Financial Times reported that the Trump management had revised the original plan, reducing the number of points from 28 to 19.
The specifics of the current 19-point plan remain largely confidential, though further analysis is available in a recent EuroPravda article: Related
