MOSCOW – Russia has received the latest copy of a US plan aimed at ending the Ukraine war and views some aspects positively, but other points require further discussion, the Kremlin said Wednesday. Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov said the draft would need “truly serious analysis” and had not yet been formally discussed with anyone.

“Some aspects can be viewed positively, but many require special discussions among experts,” Ushakov told a state TV reporter, emphasizing that Moscow is carefully reviewing the proposals. He did not provide details on which points Russia supports or objects to.
The new plan, described by US President Donald Trump as a “fine-tuned” version of an earlier 28-point proposal, was initially criticized by Ukraine for including demands such as withdrawing from Donetsk and limiting the size of its armed forces. Following talks in Geneva, Washington and Kyiv agreed to pare back some contentious points, with both sides expressing optimism about moving forward.

US special envoy Steve Witkoff is scheduled to visit Moscow next week to meet President Vladimir Putin to discuss the plan further. Ushakov confirmed the visit but stressed that Russia had yet to formally respond to Washington’s proposals.
The Kremlin also criticized European countries for interfering in the peace process, accusing them of “meddling” in efforts to broker a settlement. Meanwhile, US officials will continue consultations with both Kyiv and Moscow in the hope of finalizing an agreement to end the nearly three-year conflict.

Analysts say that while Washington aims to secure a ceasefire and political settlement, the differing expectations of Ukraine and Russia, coupled with European involvement, may complicate negotiations and prolong the road to a durable peace.
