Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said
Tuesday that the Russian government has not yet seen the Italian
peace plan for Ukraine, adding that Moscow hoped to receive it
soon via diplomatic channels.
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.
Former Russian President Dmitri Medvedev, however, has given the
thumbs down to the plan.
"The sensation is that it was not prepared by diplomats but by
local political commentators who have read provincial newspapers
and operate on the basis of fake Ukrainian news," he said.
Medvedev also said the Donbass area would never return to Kyiv's
control.
