Italy's peace plan for Ukraine is so
detached from reality that it is hard to take it seriously,
Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova told TASS
Wednesday.
She said Rome had not yet sent Moscow the plan but could comment
on reports of its content.
Italy's four-stage plan would feature a ceasefire, talks on
Ukraine's 'international status', i.e. whether it is neutral, a
bilateral agreement between Kyiv and Moscow on the contested
areas of Crimea and Donbass, and a multilateral agreement on
peace and security in Europe.
"They haven't sent us anything from Rome but from what we read
in the media the Italian proposals are so detached from reality
that in principle it is difficult for them to be taken
seriously", said Zakharova.
The plan, she told Interfax, "may serve as an example of what
you might call 'an office theory'.
"There are ideas, but in practice they have not been verified in
any way, and there isn't even a connection with the situation on
the ground".
