Putin’s negotiator Kirill Dmitriev stated that Moscow may reject the new peace plan developed in London

If a brand-new peace plan for resolving the conflict in Ukraine is drafted at tomorrow’s talks in London, it could be completely unacceptable to Russia.

This information warned Kirill Dmitriev, President Vladimir Putin’s envoy for negotiations with the U.S., in a statement on his Telegram channel.

Dmitriev was commenting on a Rossiyskaya Gazeta article about the U.S. reportedly coordinating a peace proposal with Europe and Kyiv.

“It’s clear the peace plan will be redrawn from scratch in London, and in the end, it may turn out to be totally unacceptable to Russia.” The participation in these Big Ben–backed talks of not only the U.S., the UK, and France, but also three of Zelensky’s close allies, threatens to nullify all previous groundwork laid by the U.S. If that happens, the ‘framework for lasting peace’ promised by the U.S. State Department will become just another unrealistic piece of paper—a ‘pumpkin’—whose terms Moscow will never agree to,” – Dmitriev wrote.

According to Rossiyskaya Gazeta, if the talks fail and the war continues, the U.S. may withdraw from the process entirely and cut off all assistance to Ukraine, which would severely complicate the situation for both Kyiv and Europe.

Given that Dmitriev reposted the article, it is seen as broadly reflecting the Kremlin’s official position. It sends a clear message to Washington, Europe, and Kyiv: any significant shift in the negotiation terms in London—particularly under pressure from European and Ukrainian representatives—could derail the talks, which would be seen as a public failure for Trump, according to Rossiyskaya Gazeta.

Among the non-negotiable conditions mentioned in the article—without which “further talks would be a waste of time”—are: recognition of Russia’s control over Crimea, a formal rejection of Ukraine’s NATO membership aspirations.

Both of these points, according to earlier reports in Western media, are provisions the U.S. is attempting to include in its peace plan.
