JAKARTA - No "peace plan" in Ukraine could have taken into account the four new regions that joined Russia, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Wednesday.
"First of all, so far, there is no 'peace plan' for Ukraine in any form," Kremlin officials said in response to a request for comment on Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky's initiative to produce a "peace plan," TASS reported December 28.
"And again, there is no possible Ukraine 'peace plan' if it does not take into account the modern reality of the Russian territory, with four new regions joining Russia," said President Vladimir Putin's press secretary.
It is known that Russia declared the Donetsk, Lugansk, Kherson and Zaporizhia regions of Ukraine as part of its territory in September, after a referendum criticized by Ukraine and Western countries.
Earlier, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky promoted his 10-point peace plan, which he first announced in November, discussing it with US President Joe Biden, urging world leaders to hold a Global Peace Summit based on the plan.
The plan includes the withdrawal of Russian troops from internationally recognized Ukrainian territory, meaning Russia handed over the four areas it claims have been annexed, as well as Crimea it seized in 2014.
Meanwhile, the Kremlin has repeatedly claimed to be open to peace talks with Ukraine, but does not see a desire to negotiate from Kyiv's side.
