Moscow, November 25 (Xinhua) — Russia welcomes the fact that the peace plan proposed by US President Donald Trump for a Ukrainian settlement is based on the agreements reached during the Russian-American summit in Alaska. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated this on Tuesday, speaking at a press conference following a joint meeting of the boards of the Russian and Belarusian foreign ministries.
"President [of the Russian Federation] Vladimir Putin commented on President Trump's peace plan in detail and clearly several days ago, at the end of last week, at a meeting with the permanent members of the Security Council. Our assessment remains valid, in the sense that the key provisions of Trump's plan are based on the understandings reached in Anchorage at the Russian-American summit in August of this year. And these principles are generally reflected in the plan, which we welcomed," TASS quoted the Russian minister as saying.
According to Sergey Lavrov, Moscow has US President Donald Trump's 28-point plan for Ukraine, which it received "through unofficial channels." "We have it, but it was received through unofficial channels. It was not officially communicated to us. But we are, of course, ready, as the Russian president said, to discuss specific wording. Because a number of issues there certainly require clarification," the Russian Foreign Minister said, adding that the Russian side had not seen other versions of the document.
Sergey Lavrov noted that Moscow expects the American side to present a version of the document agreed upon with the European Union and Ukraine. "We have channels of communication with our American colleagues, they are being used, and we expect them to present a version they consider an interim one in terms of completing the phase of coordinating this text with the Europeans and Ukrainians," the Russian diplomat stated.
He stated that Russia appreciates the position of the United States, which is proactively promoting a Ukrainian settlement. According to him, Moscow is not rushing Washington into the negotiation process on Ukraine, but expects the American side to inform it of the results of consultations with Kyiv and the EU.
