Statements by Putin’s Press Secretary Peskov on the Talks between the US and Ukraine:

- He urged not to “get ahead of ourselves” regarding Russia’s reaction to the proposal for a 30-day ceasefire in Ukraine.

- He stated that no talks with the US on rare minerals are currently taking place

- He did not rule out a phone conversation between Putin and Trump

So far he did not address questions about the possible ceasefire in-depth, likely because Russia is unsure how to respond to the proposal since an outright rejection would force Trump to increase support for Ukraine.

It’s worth keeping in mind that Russia is extremely unlikely to accept the ceasefire agreement. Putin and Lavrov have made it clear in the past that they don’t want to back down from their original demands regarding Ukraine.

European Intelligence Receives Russia’s Peace Proposal Document

A Moscow-based think tank linked to the FSB drafted the document a week before US-Russia talks in Riyadh on February 18.

Key Points:

- No peace in Ukraine before 2026
- Trump’s plan to achieve peace within 100 days is unrealistic
- If the West does not recognize Russian-occupied territories, war could restart
- Ukraine must abandon NATO aspirations
- A complete regime change in Kyiv is needed, as internal change is “impossible”
- Russia wants a buffer zone on the border with Bryansk and Belgorod regions
- Southern Ukraine, including Odesa, should become a demilitarized zone
- No peacekeepers (even from non-European countries) should be involved, as they would be “influenced by the West.”
