Kremlin Spokesperson, Dmitry Peskov, firmly rejected claims of a secret 28-point US–Russia peace plan for Ukraine, dismissing reports of negotiations as misinformation. When asked about alleged discussions with Washington, the spokesperson stressed that there are contacts but no consultations and no new proposals beyond what was previously stated in Anchorage. Moscow also warned European leaders against escalating rhetoric and reaffirmed that Kaliningrad remains an integral part of Russia. Questions about a laser incident involving a Russian vessel near UK waters were redirected to the Defense Ministry. Russia insists it remains open to diplomacy—only if it addresses the root causes of the conflict.
