"The US last week revealed a 28-point peace plan for Ukraine that was widely viewed as too favourable to Russia, including calling for Kyiv to make major territorial concessions and abandon its NATO ambitions.

However, the full details of the latest proposal have not been disclosed."
"Despite Putin's apparent openness to a settlement, he insisted Russia is willing to keep fighting the nearly four-year war that has killed or wounded hundreds of thousands on each side if Ukraine does not give up key territory. Ukrainian troops must withdraw from the territories they hold, and then the fighting will cease. If they don't leave, then we shall achieve this by armed means. That's it, Putin said, claimin"
Vladimir Putin expressed cautious optimism that a U.S.-backed draft peace plan could form the basis for future agreements and acknowledged U.S. consideration of Russia's positions while noting unresolved issues.

The U.S. proposed a 28-point plan widely seen as favorable to Russia, including territorial concessions and abandonment of NATO ambitions; Ukrainian input removed a 600,000-member army cap and a general war crimes amnesty. Full details remain undisclosed. Putin warned Russia will continue fighting if Ukrainian forces do not withdraw from held territories.
