Kremlin dismisses reports it scripted parts of U.S.-backed peace plan

He denied Bloomberg report that concerned discussions about conveying ideas and provisions the Kremlin wanted to see in a document - but was supposed to be presented by the U.S. side.

In a brief comment under Bloomberg post, he simply wrote: “Fake.”

On his own page, he also made a separate post, claiming: “The closer we get to peace, the more desperate the warmongers become.”

Bloomberg published two transcripts of conversations between Russian officials on Nov. 25.

The first was a conversation between Donald Trump’s special representative Steve Witkoff and Ushakov, which took place on Oct. 14.

According to the transcript, Witkoff advised the Russian side on how best to present the Kremlin’s proposals to the U.S. president. He recommended that Putin called Trump before Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s visit to the White House, congratulated the U.S. president on the Gaza peace deal, stressed that he is a “man of peace,” and at the same time mentioned that Witkoff and Ushakov had already discussed a 20-point peace plan for Ukraine.

The second transcript captured a conversation between Ushakov and Dmitriev about the possibility of passing the Russian draft agreement to Trump’s representatives in such a way that it would be presented as an American initiative.
