Peskov denies Trump-Putin plan, urges Zelensky to negotiate.
Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Moscow has no information about a reported Trump-Putin peace plan, while urging Ukraine to enter negotiations immediately. His remarks were published by Kremlin officials.
Pressure on Zelensky
Peskov said recent battlefield setbacks for Ukraine should “prompt” Kyiv to come to the table.
According to the Kremlin spokesperson, “The effectiveness of the actions of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation should convince Zelensky and his regime that it is better to negotiate and do it now, better to do it right now, than later.”
He said Russian military operations are intended to force the Zelensky government toward a “peaceful solution,” adding that continuing the conflict is “useless and dangerous” for Kyiv.
Peskov also claimed that Ukraine’s “space for freedom of decision” is shrinking as it loses territory.
Moscow says it wants talks
Peskov insisted Russia is “completely open” to peace negotiations and wants them to succeed. However, he stressed that Moscow would not discuss the topic publicly.
Commenting on new proposals from Washington, he said Russia had received nothing official and that “no concrete discussions” had taken place regarding the document.
Responding to reports about a Trump-Putin peace plan, Peskov said Russia knew nothing about it. He added that Moscow had not been sent any formal text.
