Details: Asked whether it would be accurate to say that Putin rejected the American plan during the meeting on 2 December, Peskov replied: "No, that would not be correct."
He said that 2 December marked the first direct exchange of views between Russian and US representatives on the "peace plan".
Quote: "Some things were accepted, some were described as unacceptable. This is a normal working process and a search for compromise."
Background:
- On 2 December, Russian leader Vladimir Putin met with US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law. The meeting lasted nearly five hours.
- After talks with representatives of Trump's team, Yuri Ushakov, an aide to Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin, said that no compromise version of a plan to end the war in Ukraine has been found so far.
- Intelligence available to the North Atlantic Alliance has not indicated that Putin is ready for a peace agreement.
- Alliance officials believe he is bluffing when he says Russia is ready to fight a war with Europe.
