Will #Russia reject the 19-point plan?
Russia is widely expected to reject the revised 19-point #peace plan because it deviates significantly from the original, more #Moscow-favorable proposal discussed during the Trump-Putin summit in August.Russia
Key points regarding Russia’s stance:
Deviation from original plan: Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has repeatedly stated that any agreement must reflect the “spirit and letter” of the original understandings reached in Anchorage. He warned that if those key points are “erased,” the situation will be “fundamentally different”.
Ukraine’s concessions softened: The initial 28-point plan, which Russia viewed as a “very good basis for negotiations”, reportedly included maximalist demands such as Ukraine ceding the entire Donbas region and abandoning its NATO ambitions. The revised 19-point plan, accepted by Ukraine, has removed some of these controversial points, such as the troop cap and the explicit bar on NATO membership, making it far less likely for Russia to accept.
Propaganda and delay tactics: Sources suggest that Moscow might not outright reject the plan immediately for fear of provoking President Trump’s suspicion that they are unwilling to negotiate. Instead, Russia may use vague statements or disinformation tactics to prolong talks, with some analysts believing this is a strategy to gain time and influence sanctions enforcement.
Continued military pressure: Despite the diplomatic efforts, Russia has shown no signs of slowing its military campaign, continuing to launch significant attacks on Ukrainian cities, which analysts view as an attempt to regain leverage in any potential talks.
In essence, while formal, definitive rejection has not been issued as of November 26, 2025, public statements from Russian officials and expert analysis strongly indicate that Moscow will not agree to the current 19-point plan in its present form.— Michael Novakhov (@mikenov) Nov 26, 2025
