According to him, Russia received the "peace proposal" through "existing channels of interaction with the U.S. administration," but the text is not being discussed with Moscow "in any substantive way" at this stage
He added that the "peace plan" could "serve as the basis for a final peace settlement."

"Russia is ready for peace negotiations and to resolve the issues through peaceful means, but this requires a detailed discussion of all elements of the U.S. proposal," the Russian dictator said.
