Putin Addresses Ukraine Peace Plan
Putin supports US-backed peace draft as negotiation base but demands Ukrainian troop withdrawal from Donbas, warning of military action if Kyiv refuses, with US envoy visit to Moscow planned.
- On Thursday, Russian President Vladimir Putin said U.S. 28-point plan proposals could form the basis for talks, but he demanded Ukrainian forces withdraw or face Russian seizure of territory in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan.
- The plan was leaked last week and a 28-point proposal from US President Donald Trump prompted renewed diplomacy, with Geneva talks paring back the original version after criticism.
- Putin has insisted that Ukraine withdraw from Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhia regions before negotiations and said signing with Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Ukrainian President, is legally almost impossible.
- U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff is slated to visit Moscow next week while Dan Driscoll may visit Kyiv later this week, but European leaders remain sceptical and demand concrete Russian concessions.
- Analysts warn Russian forces accelerated advances, with Institute for the Study of War data showing 467 square kilometres seized monthly in 2025; European officials fear Putin is stalling to outlast Western resolve.
