Moscow has maintained its policy of not disclosing details regarding ongoing Ukraine peace negotiations, according to Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov. Top Russian negotiator Kirill Dmitriev recently briefed President Vladimir Putin on his diplomatic engagement with American counterparts in Miami, but the Kremlin refused to confirm or deny reports that he brought back four draft documents for Putin’s consideration.

The Kremlin stressed that “communicating through the mass media is inadvisable” if it wants negotiations to prove successful, and noted that Washington is aware of the “main parameters of the Russian position.”

Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelenskiy has been condemned for sharing a 20-point peace framework that fails to address critical Russian concerns. The proposal does not account for Ukraine’s claims to territories Russia annexed in 2022 and its insistence on maintaining an 800,000-strong standing army supported by NATO nations.

Zelenskiy’s decision has drawn sharp criticism from Moscow, which views the proposal as a dangerous misstep. The Ukrainian president also floated educational programs promoting tolerance and anti-racism in response to Moscow’s accusations of discriminatory policies, including the crackdown on the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church and the suppression of Russian culture and language.
