Russia yet to receive information on outcome of Geneva talks on US’ Ukraine peace plan: Kremlin

ISTANBUL

The Kremlin said on Monday that Moscow has yet to receive information from Washington regarding consultations held in Geneva, Switzerland, on a proposed 28-point US peace plan to end the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war.

“We are, of course, closely monitoring the media reports that have been pouring in over the past few days, including from Geneva, but we have not yet received anything officially,” Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told reporters during a press briefing.

Stressing that Moscow has yet to receive the text of the plan amended during talks in Switzerland, Peskov said Moscow considered it “impossible and inappropriate” to conduct discussions on the plan based on media leaks.

He further said Russia remained open to negotiations on a Ukrainian settlement, but stated that no specifics regarding such contacts with the US are currently available.

The spokesperson went on to say that the Kremlin has no information about whether Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will travel to Washington next week or what will be discussed.

On Sunday, CBS News reported that US and Ukrainian officials are discussing the possibility of Zelenskyy traveling to the US next week.

According to the news outlet, the potential visit is linked to US President Donald Trump’s push to secure a peace deal in Ukraine by the Thanksgiving holiday on Thursday.

Peskov also said no talks between Russia and the US are scheduled this week on the proposed plan, adding that Moscow will wait for the outcome of the Geneva discussions before assessing any possible changes to the document

The Kremlin spokesperson’s remarks came as senior US and Ukrainian officials held talks in Geneva on a 28-point proposal aimed at advancing peace efforts in Ukraine.

The exchanges involved a US delegation led by Secretary of State Marco Rubio and President Donald Trump’s envoy Steve Witkoff, as well as a Ukrainian delegation led by presidential chief of staff Andriy Yermak.

Following the talks on Sunday, the US and Ukraine drafted an “updated and refined” peace framework, according to a joint statement, saying discussions in this regard showed "meaningful progress toward aligning positions and identifying clear next steps."

Separately, the national security advisors of the E3 countries – the UK, France and Germany – also met with Ukraine’s delegation in Geneva.
