Details: Bloomberg's report appeared in the context of meetings in Abu Dhabi between US Under Secretary of the Army Dan Driscoll and a Russian delegation.

Media outlets wrote that Driscoll was expected to show the Russians the edited document, which was based on the original 28-point US "peace plan". After the meeting in Geneva, it was shortened to 19 points, with a number of contentious provisions removed.

Nevertheless, Bloomberg noted that Russian officials described the updated plan as "futile".

Background:

The United States and Ukraine developed a new 19-point peace agreement during the Geneva talks but left the most politically sensitive issues for the two presidents to decide.
Ukraine's Deputy Foreign Minister Serhii Kyslytsia has explained how the new peace agreement is being protected from leaks.
