Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov commented on the reported plan for a peaceful resolution in Ukraine, which, according to Italian media, Rome presented to UN leaders and Western allies earlier this month. Russia has not received the plan through the proper diplomatic channels and therefore cannot possibly comment on it, the official told journalists on Wednesday.
Responding to a question from the press, Peskov said the Russian government will need to see the exact wording of the reported plan before it can make a judgment.
The existence of the Italian proposal was revealed by the newspaper La Repubblica last week on Thursday. It said the Italian government shared it with UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres and leading Western powers.
The four-step roadmap to peace reportedly includes a ceasefire, demilitarization of the frontline in Ukraine, diplomatic settlement of the status of Crimea and the Donbass republics, and an overarching agreement on security in Europe.
