Russian President Vladimir Putin said in an interview with the media on December 2 that Russia cannot accept the amendments Europe is trying to make to the Russian-Ukrainian “peace plan” proposed by the United States. Putin pointed out that Europe is trying to make some changes to the Russian-Ukrainian “peace plan” with the aim of blocking the peace process, and hopes to shift responsibility for the collapse of the peace process in Ukraine to Russia in this way. Putin said that Russia has repeatedly stated that it has no intention of going to war with Europe. But if Europe suddenly starts a war, Russia “now” is ready to deal with it. On November 20, the US media revealed the 28-point Russian-Ukrainian “peace plan” drawn up by the White House. The plan was viewed by Ukraine and Europe as favoring Russia. On November 23, representatives of the US, Ukraine, and Europe held talks in Geneva, Switzerland, to drastically revise the plan.
