Putin's meeting with permanent members of the Security Council. The main thing

Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke about the US peace plan for Ukraine at a meeting with permanent members of the Security Council. The main theses are in the material of Izvestia.

About the US plan for Ukraine

At the beginning of the meeting, Vladimir Putin spoke about the US plan for a peaceful settlement in Ukraine.

"We have hardly discussed this publicly, only in the most general terms. But this is no secret, President Trump's peace plan to resolve the situation in Ukraine was discussed before the meeting in Alaska," the president said.

According to him, during the discussion, Washington asked Moscow to make certain compromises.

"The main point of the meeting in Alaska, the main purpose of the meeting in Alaska was that during the negotiations in Anchorage we confirmed that, despite certain difficult issues and difficulties on our part, we nevertheless agree with these proposals and are ready to show the flexibility offered to us," the president explained.

About international support

All of Russia's friends and partners supported these possible agreements, Putin said.

"On all these issues, we have informed in detail all our friends and partners of the Global South, including the People's Republic of China, India, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, South Africa, Brazil, many other countries and the CSTO countries, of course," the president explained.

He stressed that the pause was caused by Ukraine's actual rejection of the plan proposed by Trump.

"I believe that is why its new edition has appeared. In fact, the upgraded plan already consists of 28 points. We have this text," Putin said.

On the position of Europe and Ukraine

Apparently, neither Ukraine nor Europe understands what their rejection of the agreements may lead to.

"Only one of the most recent examples is Kupyansk. If Kiev does not want to discuss President Trump's proposal and refuses to do so, then both they and the European warmongers should understand that the events that took place in Kupyansk will inevitably be repeated in other key sectors of the front. Maybe not as fast as we would like, but it will inevitably happen again. And, in general, we are satisfied with this, since it leads to achieving the goal of its armed conflict," the president concluded.
