Russia Rejects Erdoğan’s Ukraine Peace Plan
In response to media reports of a Turkish peace plan, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov declared the proposed frontline freeze unacceptable to Russia. Peskov denied any discussion of such a plan between Putin and Erdoğan, stating a lack of information regarding its details. These reports, alongside similar proposals circulating in the US, suggest a potential strategy of freezing the conflict and delaying Ukrainian NATO membership. However, Russia’s firm rejection indicates significant obstacles to any such peace initiative.
