Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Tuesday Moscow had not yet accepted any plans for an attempt to reconcile the conflict in Ukraine.

"Currently, the only thing that is substantive is America's plan (peace), Trump's plan (US President Donald). We believe this can be a very good basis for negotiations. We are still sticking to this point of view," Peskov said. November 25.

Regarding Europe's role in resolving the conflict in Ukraine, Peskov said it was impossible to discuss security systems without European participation, so that at some stage European participation would be needed.

As previously reported, the United States is working on finalizing a peace proposal to end the Russia-Ukraine war.

Last Thursday, Press Secretary Krypto Leavitt said President Trump's Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio had been "secretly" working on the plan for a month.

The plan is said to be discussed with Ukraine and Russia. Leavitt believes a deal can be reached between Russia and Ukraine.

President Trump last weekend said the proposal was still flexible and not final, following concerns from Ukraine and its international allies.

Draft's peace plan reportedly contained a number of sensitive conditions, including the handover of additional territory to Russia, restrictions on Ukraine's military power, and the termination of the country's official efforts to join NATO.

President Trump gave Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky a deadline until Thursday this week to respond to the proposal.

EU leaders expressed their disapproval of the United States proposal. In response, Germany, France, and Britain submitted a draft proposal for their own settlement for Ukraine, whose full text was published by Reuters.

The European troika plan allows for access to Ukraine to NATO and the deployment of NATO troops on Ukrainian soil under national command. In addition, Europe advocates the armed forces as many as 800,000 personnel during the peace period. In return, Russia is offered the opportunity to "continue security discussions."

On Sunday, the US and Ukrainian delegations held a meeting in Geneva, Switzerland, to discuss peace proposals to refute the war. US delegation led by Foreign Minister Marco Rubio and special envoy to President Donald Trump, Steve Witkoff. Meanwhile, the Ukrainian delegation was led by Presidential Chief of Staff Andriy Yermak.

Russian Presidential Spokesman Yuri Ushakov said on Monday the Kremlin was aware of the EU's version of the war peace plan in Ukraine, saying a brief review of its provisions showed the plan was not constructive.

"Regarding the proposal circulating: this morning, we are aware of a European plan that, at first glance, seems completely unconstructive and not appropriate for us," Ushakov said.

Later, White House Press Secretary Krypto Leavitt said the Washington and Kyiv governments had reached an agreement on most of the provisions forming the United States' plans to resolve the Russia-Ukraine war after negotiations in Geneva.

Leavitt reported productive negotiations between the presidential national security team and the Ukrainian delegation, including a meeting in Geneva between Foreign Minister Marco Rubio and Special Envoy Steve Witkoff. According to him, they managed to "set aside points" from 28 points of the peace plan.

Leavitt stressed that the US Government hopes Russia will agree to the provisions of the plans being drawn up to resolve the crisis in Ukraine.

"Of course, we have to make sure all these points are approved. And then, of course, we have to make sure other parties in this war, Russia, also agree," Leavitt said.

Leavitt later denied that President Trump was biased in efforts to peace the Russian-Ukraine war, dismissed criticism that the president sided with Russia, including from within the Republican Party.

"The assumption that the United States does not involve both sides equally in this war to end it is a total and comprehensive mistake," he said.
