It has been alleged that Kirill Dmitriyev, the Russian President\u2019s Special Representative for Economic Cooperation, conveyed Moscow\u2019s demands for ending the war in Ukraine to US President Donald Trump\u2019s Special Representative, Steve Witkoff.<\/p>\n
According to phone call transcripts published<\/a><\/span> by\u00a0Bloomberg<\/em>, these demands, drafted in Moscow, were subsequently presented to the public as Trump\u2019s peace plan.<\/p>\n The records in question are based on a conversation between Dmitriyev and Russian Presidential Aide Yuri Ushakov.<\/p>\n Dmitriyev wanted the document preserved \u2018word for word\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n During the discussion held on October 29 between Dmitriyev and Ushakov, the transmission of the peace plan draft prepared in the Kremlin to the American side via \u201cunofficial\u201d channels was addressed.<\/p>\n During the conversation, Dmitriyev stated, \u201cIt seems to me that we prepare this paper as our own position, and I will convey it directly and unofficially. Let them present it as if it were their own.\u201d<\/p>\n Yuri Ushakov expressed reservations regarding this method. He noted that Steve Witkoff, to whom the document would be sent, might \u201calter\u201d the text and subsequently claim that the changes made had been coordinated with Moscow.<\/p>\n In response, Dmitriyev emphasized that he would ask Witkoff to preserve the formulation \u201cword for word\u201d and that the process would be managed \u201cmeticulously.\u201d<\/p>\n He also added that Ushakov could discuss this document in person with Trump\u2019s special representative.<\/p>\n Experts detected Russian language patterns in the text<\/strong><\/p>\n The British newspaper\u00a0The Guardian<\/em>\u00a0reported<\/a><\/span>, following a linguistic analysis of the peace plan presented by the US President, that the text contained expressions not typically used by native English speakers.<\/p>\n According to the analysis, the document heavily featured passive grammatical structures, a characteristic trait of formal Russian correspondence.<\/p>\n As reported<\/a><\/span> by\u00a0Politico<\/em>, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio also stated during a meeting with a group of senators that the American peace plan was, in fact, a Russian proposal.<\/p>\n However, Rubio later argued in a post on the social media platform X that the document had been prepared by the American administration.<\/p>\n Ending a complex and deadly war such as the one in Ukraine requires an extensive exchange of serious and realistic ideas. And achieving a durable peace will require both sides to agree to difficult but necessary concessions. That is why we are and will continue to develop a list\u2026<\/p>\n — Marco Rubio (@marcorubio) November 20, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
