As Yuri Ushakov, an aide to the Russian dictator, cynically claims, the official changes proposed by Kyiv and Brussels to the American "peace plan" prevent the end of the Russian-Ukrainian war.
Points of attention
- Yuri Ushakov, an aide to Putin, confirmed the negative response to new proposals and provided insights into the lack of progress in meetings between Russia and the US.
- Efforts for a trilateral meeting involving Russia, the US, and Ukraine have not gained traction, highlighting the challenges in facilitating meaningful peace talks.
The Kremlin is again slowing down peace talks
The proposals that Europeans and Ukrainians have made or are trying to make do not improve the document or the possibility of achieving long-term peace.

Moreover, it is indicated that he responded negatively to the question of whether he could provide any details about the progress of the meetings between Putin's special envoy Kirill Dmitriev and US representatives in Miami.
According to Ushakov, regarding the proposal for a trilateral meeting between the Russian Federation, the US, and Ukraine, no one has seriously talked about it yet.
Putin's aide also officially confirmed that Dmitriev is holding negotiations in Miami only with Donald Trump's team.
Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky recently reported that the White House has proposed holding "peace talks" jointly with representatives of Ukraine and Russia and, possibly, European states.
Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council Rustem Umerov announced late on the evening of December 19 that the meeting of the Ukrainian negotiating delegation with American and European partners had been completed.
