Quote from Peskov: "The main parameters have been conveyed. A conversation will take place in Moscow next week."

Details: When asked whether a "peace agreement" should be recognised by specific countries or by the UN, Peskov said this would be determined during negotiations.

"All these nuances will need to be defined in the course of the talks. We do not want to get ahead of ourselves or conduct discussions in a public megaphone format; we consider that inappropriate," the Kremlin spokesman said.

He also declined to clarify Putin's remarks on whether Ukrainian forces should withdraw only from Donbas or also from Zaporizhzhia and Kherson oblasts for Russia to supposedly halt its military actions.

"We are not going to spell out all the details now. The president [Putin] called for this yesterday. All of this will be discussed," Peskov concluded. [N.B. Ukrainska Pravda does not recognise Putin as president – ed.]

Background:

• Information about a new US "peace plan" intended to settle Russia's war against Ukraine appeared in several US media outlets on 19 November.
• These reports stated that the plan envisaged handing over the whole of Donbas to Russia. It also required Ukraine to limit its weapons arsenal, cut its army in half and accept Russian as a second state language.
• On 21 November, media outlets published the text of the 28-point "peace plan", according to which Ukraine would have to renounce its territories permanently while Russia would receive amnesty.
• On 23 November, the United Kingdom, Germany and France prepared counterproposals to the US 28-point draft "peace plan", aimed at making it more favourable for Ukraine.
• Also on 23 November, negotiations took place in Geneva between Ukrainian and US delegations, after which news emerged of an updated peace document.
• The Financial Times reported that following the talks in Geneva, Trump's team introduced changes to the original version of the "peace plan", reducing the number of points to 19.
