US-Ukraine draft plan could be basis future peace agreement — Putin

Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday that the outlines of a draft peace plan discussed by the United States and Ukraine could become the basis of future agreements to end the conflict in Ukraine.

"In general, we agree that this can be the basis for future agreements," Putin said, adding that the variant of the plan discussed by the United States and Ukraine in Geneva had been passed to Russia.

Putin said that the United States was taking into account Russia's position but that some things still need to be discussed.
