Peskov: What Peace Plan? Kyiv Still Silent on Trump’s Proposal

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated that Moscow has not received any official notification from Kyiv indicating readiness to negotiate on the basis of Donald Trump’s proposed peace plan.

Asked by journalists about a reported 28-point document linked to the U.S. president-elect’s initiatives, Peskov stressed that Russia has yet to be informed of any Ukrainian agreement to discuss the plan. He noted that Western media reports have described the proposal as involving territorial concessions by Ukraine in exchange for security guarantees.

Peskov added that Russia had already commented on similar ideas in the past, describing them as lacking novelty and referencing earlier discussions in Anchorage. As of now, he said, no official contacts with Kyiv regarding this matter have taken place.

The “Trump peace plan” referenced in the statement from Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov is a 28-point draft proposal developed by the Trump administration to end Russia’s war in Ukraine. It’s essentially a framework for negotiations, drawing on ideas from earlier U.S.-Russia talks (including those in Anchorage), but tailored to Trump’s push for a swift resolution.

Key Elements of the Plan

Based on details from the draft, which has been shared with Ukrainian officials and leaked to media outlets, the proposal includes:

• Territorial concessions by Ukraine: Kyiv would cede additional land in the east (beyond areas currently held by Russia), with U.S. “de facto” recognition of Crimea and parts of Donbas as Russian territory.
• Military limits: A cap on the size of Ukraine’s armed forces to prevent future escalation.
• NATO restrictions: Ukraine would agree never to join NATO, and the alliance would be barred from stationing troops in the country.
• Security guarantees: NATO-style protections for Ukraine in exchange for these compromises, potentially monitored by an international “Peace Council” led by Trump.
• Other provisions: Joint management of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (with equal electricity distribution to Russia and Ukraine), a ceasefire along agreed lines, and sanctions for violations. Implementation would be phased, starting with troop withdrawals.

The plan is still a “live document” open to revisions, but it’s been criticized as favoring Russia—Ukraine has called out “red lines” like territorial losses, while European allies see it as a potential capitulation. Zelenskyy has expressed willingness to engage constructively, but as Peskov noted, Moscow hasn’t been looped in yet on Kyiv’s stance.
