Russian media throughout the day extensively covered reports from various international sources regarding a proposed US peace plan for Ukraine. Early morning reports from Axios hinted at US-Russia consultations on a new settlement plan. This evolved into more detailed accounts by late morning and early afternoon from Politico and The Moscow Times, suggesting a framework agreement could be reached this week, possibly involving territorial concessions from Ukraine and a reduction of its army. By late afternoon and evening, Reuters and the Financial Times further elaborated on the alleged details of this plan, including the potential recognition of Crimea and Donbas as part of Russia. Despite these consistent reports, the Kremlin, through Peskov and Zakharova, maintained that no such new agreements or information had been received from the US concerning Ukraine.
