At a Nov. 27 press conference in Kyrgyzstan, Russian President Vladimir Putin responded to a question about the U.S.-proposed 28-point peace plan. “There was no draft agreement per se; rather, there was a set of issues proposed for discussion and finalization,” Putin replied. “In general, I have spoken about this on numerous occasions. Prior to my visit to the United States, before the trip to Alaska, we discussed this with American negotiators, and subsequently, a list of 28 potential points for an agreement was formulated. As I have already stated publicly, it was conveyed to us through certain channels, and we examined it.”
The United States and Ukraine discussed the proposal at negotiations in Geneva. “They … decided among themselves that all these 28 points should be divided into four separate components,” said Putin.
“In general, we agree that this could form the basis for future agreements. However, it would be inappropriate for me to speak now of any final versions, as these do not exist.
“Certain matters are of a fundamental nature, and overall, we observe that the American side is, in some respects, taking our position into account….”
