Russia on Wednesday shot down President Trump’s claim that the Kremlin had already agreed to some concessions on ending the war in Ukraine — as Moscow blasted innocent Ukrainians with fresh drone strikes overnight.
Multiple Russian officials insisted it was too premature to speak about accepting any peace plan and that Moscow wouldn’t agree to anything that didn’t fully meet its demands.
“There can be no talk of any concessions or surrender of our approaches to the key aspects of resolving the problems facing us, including in the context of the special operation [in Ukraine],” said Sergei Ryabkov, a Russian deputy foreign minister, according to the Times.
Where does the proposal stand now? It's not immediately clear if Zelensky and Trump will meet to discuss the plan. The latest news from Russia comes after US negotiators made progress in discussions with Russia and Ukraine.
Asked if a peace deal was close, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Wednesday: “It’s premature to say that yet.”
However, Russia continues to batter Ukraine with drone attacks. The latest on the Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhia left 19 people wounded.
A foreign policy adviser to Russian President Vladimir Putin suggested Wednesday that his October chat with Trump envoy Steve Witkoff was leaked to derail talks meant to end the 33-month-old war.
"No one will cooperate with a partner who shares information about what they discussed," Yuri Ushakov told Russia's Kommersant newspaper.
"Otherwise, it will be a distrustful conversation, and it's doomed."
"Remember the case with Michael Flynn?" added Ushakov, referring to President Trump's first national security adviser, who was fired in February 2017 for lying about conversations with Russia's then-ambassador to Washington.
"The same thing could have happened here. When someone wants to do something."

Irreconcilable differences.
“”No one will cooperate with a partner who shares information about what they discussed,” Yuri Ushakov told Russia’s Kommersant newspaper. “
That leak originated in either the NSA or FBI.
The FBI only if there was one of the secret warrants.
It’s a narrow scope for investigation.
Find the traitor and hang them by the neck until dead.
There was bombing all the way up to the cease fire in Korea.
“Moscow blasted innocent Ukrainians...”
No bias there, nope.

They forgot “Unprovoked”. Man…Journalists just won’t follow the narrative now days.
Penis piano player is going to fight to the last Uke so there will be no one left to string him up by his heels.
I said this yesterday ! Peace = End of the Russian regime. So forget about peace.
NYP is trash.
owned by Rupert. not credible
There are too many powerful people throughout the world who want this war to continue. How much more time and effort is Trump going to spend on it?
Best to let Vlad and St Z finish it on the battlefield. Trump is fully aware ….
“ st Z holds no cards”, st Z has only a few days left, or “ he can fight his little heart”….without US taxpayers money or US assets.
Go President Trump! You didn’t deserve to clean up senile Joe’s war.
There doesn’t seem to be much underpinning for the article’s claim that it has all been refused.
Who did not see that coming? Putin loves to kill. It makes the little pick feel big.
no evidence,
don’t be a pinhead
“st Z has only a few days left”
I saw that posted back in February 2022!
We already called the plan failing yesterda here:

I’m positive Kellogg is the leaker. His daugher is in business with Ukraine and he suddenly “resigned” (i.e. pushed out) the moment the plan was leaked.
He was already rumored to be the culprit. Phony trashbag since before day one and another *terrible choice by Trump.
Kellogg is a perfect example of how pathological Zeepers are, to the point of harming America, even themselves. Neoconism has taken on a religious nature.
The plan hasn’t failed until it is carried to Russia and Witkoff goes there and talks with them directly. Don’t think that happens until Zelensky signs.
This looks like it is falling under the category of “diplomacy by megaphone”, which Russia has said it will not do.
This was not unexpected.
