27 Nov 2025\u00a0<\/em>–\u00a0During a press conference in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan today, following the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) summit, Russian President Vladimir Putin addressed Donald Trump\u2019s proposed 28-point peace plan<\/a> for the Ukraine conflict for the first time in detail. The plan, which had been revised after input from Ukrainian and European officials, was described by Putin as a potential starting point for negotiations, but he emphasized that it required further refinement and tied any ceasefire to major Ukrainian concessions.<\/p>\n

Putin stated that the U.S.-Ukraine draft \u201ccould become the basis of future agreements\u201d or \u201cform the basis for a future deal,\u201d acknowledging that Washington appeared to be incorporating Russia\u2019s positions. He noted that a U.S. delegation, led by Trump\u2019s envoy Steve Witkoff, would visit Moscow in the coming week to discuss it further, and Russia was ready for \u201cserious\u201d talks. However, he clarified there were \u201cno draft agreements\u201d yet\u2014only a \u201cset of questions\u201d for discussion.<\/p>\n

Putin also identified his chief negotiators\u2026 Putin said<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u00a0Obviously, the\u00a0negotiator from the\u00a0Russian side is the\u00a0Ministry of\u00a0Foreign Affairs. When we really sit down at\u00a0the\u00a0negotiating table and\u00a0start discussing each of\u00a0the\u00a0proposed items in\u00a0substance and\u00a0in\u00a0detail, the\u00a0Foreign Ministry\u00a0\u2013 on\u00a0our part, from the\u00a0Presidential Executive Office\u00a0\u2013 Vladimir Medinsky, Aide to\u00a0the\u00a0President who has been engaged in\u00a0that from the\u00a0outset. I\u00a0also included my\u00a0Aide, Yury Ushakov, to\u00a0deal with current issues, to\u00a0organise all this work, he is in\u00a0touch with his American counterparts. But he cannot deal with all of\u00a0this alone\u00a0\u2013 the\u00a0Foreign Ministry must step in\u00a0and\u00a0to\u00a0some extent, the\u00a0Presidential Executive Office. This is a\u00a0big, very extensive set of\u00a0issues that need to\u00a0be discussed, formalised, and\u00a0properly spelled out.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Andrei Kolesnikov, a reporter with the Kommersant daily<\/em>, asked the following:<\/p>\n

Mr President, are you going to\u00a0insist that the\u00a0territorial issue, above all in\u00a0Donbass, should be resolved here and\u00a0now, and\u00a0for\u00a0good? Or, will you agree to\u00a0postpone it, so to\u00a0speak, until better days? One more question, with your permission: would you agree to\u00a0return to\u00a0G7, the\u00a0Group of\u00a0Eight, as\u00a0one of\u00a0the\u00a0peace plan versions provides; that is, to\u00a0all those people?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Putin first addressed the irrelevance of the G7:<\/p>\n

As\u00a0for\u00a0G7 or\u00a0G8, we have never asked to\u00a0be there, we were invited there once and\u00a0we worked there. It was a\u00a0platform for\u00a0coordinating certain positions. I\u00a0must say, you know, please take note, even before the\u00a0tragic events in\u00a0Ukraine began, I\u00a0stopped travelling there. Did you notice?<\/p>\n

This is why, when the\u00a0developments in\u00a0Ukraine began, they said: \u201cWell, we are not expecting you there.\u201d And\u00a0good riddance\u2026 I\u00a0do not remember who it was, I\u00a0think it was the\u00a0Prime Minister who went there once. The\u00a0first time I\u00a0refused was because really, I\u00a0do not invent anything, it was when the\u00a0Government was formed after I\u00a0was elected President, I\u00a0think in\u00a02012. However, we never reject contacts, we are always open for\u00a0interaction. First, nobody invites us there, I\u00a0have not heard of\u00a0or\u00a0received any official proposals. And\u00a0second, we know how the\u00a0great majority of\u00a0that association, called the\u00a0Big Seven, and\u00a0I\u00a0have already said it once that I\u00a0do not quite understand why it is called the\u00a0big seven: in\u00a0terms of\u00a0territory, population and\u00a0contribution to\u00a0the\u00a0global GDP they are getting smaller and\u00a0smaller. Well, it does not matter, they are our important partners anyway. In\u00a0today\u2019s situation I\u00a0just cannot imagine how we can interact directly. Can you imagine it? Well, we\u2019ve arrived, hello, and\u00a0now we will be stare at\u00a0each other, or\u00a0what?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Putin then reiterated Russia\u2019s June 14, 2024 demands, insisting that Ukrainian forces must fully withdraw from the four regions claimed by Moscow (Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, and Zaporizhia)\u2014including areas not currently occupied by Russian troops\u2014before any ceasefire could be signed. He warned: \u201cUkrainian forces will have to leave the territories they currently occupy, and then the fighting will stop. If they don\u2019t, we will achieve this by military means.\u201d He added that Russia was prepared to \u201cfight to the last Ukrainian\u201d if necessary.<\/p>\n

Putin also repeated Moscow\u2019s long-standing position that an unconditional ceasefire with Ukraine is out of the question<\/a>:<\/p>\n

We\u2019re still receiving calls for a cessation of hostilities here, there, and there. Ukrainian troops will withdraw from the territories they occupy, and then the hostilities will cease. If they don\u2019t withdraw, we\u2019ll achieve this through military means<\/em>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There has been some wild speculation about a meeting earlier this week in Abu Dhabi between representatives of the Russian and Ukrainian intelligence services. Putin addressed that question as follows:<\/p>\n

As\u00a0for\u00a0the\u00a0Abu Dhabi talks, yes, I\u00a0have heard some information noise on\u00a0this score. But there was nothing unusual, nothing secret happening there either. Our secret services, Russian and\u00a0Ukrainian, have always been in\u00a0contact with each other, even in\u00a0the\u00a0hardest times. And\u00a0they are in\u00a0contact now. What are they dealing with? They are resolving a\u00a0number of\u00a0humanitarian issues, primarily related to\u00a0the\u00a0exchange of\u00a0prisoners of\u00a0war. The\u00a0Abu Dhabi platform is actively used for\u00a0this purpose. We are very grateful to\u00a0the\u00a0President of\u00a0the\u00a0United Arab Emirates for\u00a0the\u00a0opportunities extended to\u00a0us. Thanks to\u00a0his efforts, hundreds of\u00a0our men, our heroes, have returned to\u00a0their homeland.<\/p>\n

At\u00a0the\u00a0initiative of\u00a0the\u00a0Ukrainian side, one of\u00a0such regular meetings was scheduled and\u00a0took place in\u00a0Abu Dhabi. On\u00a0our side, one of\u00a0Russia\u2019s FSB leaders attended it. A\u00a0representative of\u00a0the\u00a0US administration also came to\u00a0this meeting. It was a\u00a0bit unexpected for\u00a0us, but we never give up on\u00a0contacts. He spoke with the\u00a0Russian representative and\u00a0wondered if perhaps we should not wait until next week to\u00a0continue contacts but rather hold a\u00a0meeting in\u00a0Moscow this week.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

To sum it up, there has been no substantive change in the position President Putin outlined at his 14 June 2024 meeting with the Russian Foreign Ministry.<\/p>\n
