Kremlin responds to Geneva talks: “No peace plans received”
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov, commenting on the U.S.–Ukraine talks held in Geneva on Sunday, stated that Russia had not officially received any peace plans for resolving the conflict in Ukraine.
This was reported by the BBC Russian Service, according to Ukrinform.
“Of course, we are closely monitoring the media reports that have been coming intensively over the past few days, including from Geneva, but officially we have received nothing so far,” Peskov said.
He added that some adjustments had been made to the text of the plan previously seen in Moscow. “We’ll wait,” the Kremlin spokesperson added.
Peskov also said that a meeting between Russian and U.S. delegations is not planned for this week.
Earlier, U.S. media reported that the Trump administration had conducted secret consultations with Russia to develop a new plan to end the war in Ukraine. According to Axios, the plan consists of 28 points divided into four categories: peace in Ukraine, security guarantees, security in Europe, and future U.S. relations with Russia and Ukraine.
Media reports indicated that Kyiv is expected to give up Ukrainian-controlled areas of Donbas, reduce its Armed Forces, and relinquish a significant portion of its weapons. The plan envisions the transfer of remaining Donbas territories in exchange for U.S. security guarantees for Kyiv and Europe, though the mechanisms for these guarantees are not clearly defined.
U.S. lawmakers stated that during a conversation with Secretary of State Marco Rubio, he described the U.S. peace plan as a “wishlist” of the Russians rather than an actual proposal from Washington. Rubio denied this, emphasizing that “the peace proposal was developed by the United States.”
Following the Geneva talks, Ukraine and the United States agreed to continue working on joint proposals for a peace agreement. Both sides described the consultations as highly productive and confirmed that any future agreement must fully respect Ukraine’s sovereignty and ensure a sustainable and just peace. As a result of the negotiations, the parties prepared an updated and refined framework document on peace.
