Russia says amended US peace plan must reflect 'spirit and letter' of Trump-Putin summit in Alaska
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Tuesday that an amended peace plan for Ukraine must reflect the "spirit and letter" of understandings reached between President Vladimir Putin and U.S. President Donald Trump at their Alaska summit.
The first draft of Trump’s 28-point peace plan called for an investment scheme for Ukraine’s reconstruction controlled by the U.S. but financed by $100 billion in frozen Russian assets matched by another $100 billion from the European Union — with 50% of profits sent back to Washington.
The U.S. Army secretary, Daniel P. Driscoll, is in the United Arab Emirates for scheduled meetings with a Russian delegation about President Trump’s latest plan for peace in Ukraine, a U.S. official said.
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said “it would be good to know for sure who is the author of the plan,” as tensions over elements that mirror long-standing Russian demands.
