Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stressed Wednesday that there is no «peace plan» with Ukraine if it does not take into account the current status of the four Ukrainian regions recently annexed following dubious popular consultations that have not been recognized beyond Moscow and Minsk.
Peskov’s remarks were in response to statements by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky about a peace project he intends to present to the United Nations in February.
In this regard, Peskov pointed out that «to begin with, so far, there is no Ukrainian ‘peace plan’ of any kind» and that it will not be possible «if the new reality» of the four regions – Luhansk, Zaporiyia, Kherson and Donetsk – which have ended up «joining Russia» is not taken into account.
«Any plan that does not take into account these particularities cannot claim to be a peace plan», the press officer of the Russian President, Vladimir Putin, has concluded, in relation to a question that Kiev has already indicated that it will not assume under any circumstances, reports the TASS agency.
This week, Zelenski said that among the issues he had discussed with his American counterpart, Joe Biden, during his recent visit to Washington was a proposal by Kiev to hold a «peace summit» within the United Nations at the end of February, but without the presence of Russia.
