Russia confirms it has not received US 28-point Ukraine peace plan

Russia has not formally received or discussed the United States’ proposed 28-point plan to resolve the Ukraine conflict, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said, as reported by TASS.

“No, officially, we have not received anything. We see some novelties, but officially, we have received nothing. And there has been no substantive discussion of these points,” Peskov told journalists when asked whether Russia had been involved in shaping the plan.

He emphasised that Russia remains open to negotiations. “We are fully open and maintain our openness for peace negotiations,” he said, adding, “Moscow wants the peace talks on Ukraine to succeed, so it does not want to discuss them in a ‘megaphone mode.’”

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova echoed Peskov’s remarks, stating that the ministry—the official channel of communication with the United States—has not received any proposals or plans. “Officially, the Russian side…has not received any such proposals or plans at all. We are open to dialogue,” she said.

The U.S. plan, first reported by Axios, is reportedly designed to end the war through a series of concessions. Among its key provisions, Ukraine would cede the remaining parts of the Russian-occupied eastern Donbas region, reduce its armed forces by half, and scale back or eliminate certain weapons systems, particularly long-range missiles capable of striking inside Russia.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has already received a draft of the plan from Washington. Officials in Kyiv and Washington are expected to continue refining the proposal after Ukraine outlines its fundamental principles.

The United States anticipates that Zelenskyy could formally endorse a peace framework as early as Thursday, November 27.
