(MENAFN) Russian President Vladimir Putin said Friday that a revised 28-point proposal put forward by the United States “could be used as the basis” for resolving the war in Ukraine, adding that while Moscow is content with its current battlefield momentum, it remains prepared to negotiate.

During a meeting of Russia’s Security Council, Putin explained that Trump’s initiative had already been reviewed with U.S. representatives ahead of the Aug. 15 Alaska summit, where Washington pressed Moscow to make concessions and, in his words, “show flexibility.”

He stated, “The main goal of the meeting in Alaska was that during the negotiations in Anchorage we confirmed that, despite certain difficult issues, we nonetheless agree with these proposals and are ready to show the flexibility offered to us.”

Putin added that Russia had informed partners across the Global South — including China, India, North Korea, South Africa, Brazil, and members of the CSTO — before the Alaska discussions, and that all had expressed support for the potential terms.

According to Putin, momentum stalled afterward because “Ukraine’s de facto rejection” of the plan prevented the U.S. from advancing the process. He said Moscow later received an updated version of the proposal, noting, “I believe it could also form the basis of a final peace settlement, but it has not been discussed with us in detail,” which he attributed to Washington’s difficulty in obtaining Kyiv’s approval.

Putin maintained that Russia views its battlefield position as favorable and aligned with the objectives of the "special military operation." He argued that Ukraine’s refusal to participate in negotiations is contributing to continued Russian advances, while again asserting that Moscow remains willing to engage.

“We’re ready for peace negotiations and a peaceful resolution of problems. But this requires a substantive discussion of all the details of the proposed plan," he said.
