Putin on the US plan for Ukraine: the American delegation will arrive in Moscow next week

Statement by Vladimir Putin on the American plan for Ukraine

Vladimir Putin stated the possibility of using the 28-point American plan for future agreements regarding Ukraine at a press conference held on November 27 after his visit to Kyrgyzstan. Putin noted that these 28 points can be divided into four components. He also emphasized that to cease hostilities, the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) need to leave the occupied territories.

Negotiations with the American delegation

At the press conference, Putin announced that the American delegation is expected to arrive in Moscow next week. Among the Russian negotiators will be Vladimir Medinsky and Yuri Ushakov. He noted that the United States has abandoned the strict deadline mentioned earlier on November 27, adding that Secretary of State Marco Rubio has indicated significant flexibility in the timelines.

Putin also pointed out that Ukraine has agreed with the main provisions of the plan. He expressed the opinion that 'all this has been conveyed to us, overall we agree that this can be the basis for future agreements.' In the context of these statements, the President of Russia said that 'if the AFU withdraw from the territories they occupy, then the hostilities will cease.'

Putin: 'no 'peace treaty projects' supposedly existed.'

These statements by Putin indicate an attempt to find a political exit from the conflict in Ukraine through negotiations with the US. A crucial component of this process is Ukraine's position, which, according to the Russian president, has agreed to the main points of the American plan. However, the conditions set by Russia, particularly regarding the withdrawal from territories, could become a significant stumbling block in further negotiations. The course of future meetings between the American delegation and Russian representatives will determine the further development of events in this conflict.
