Russian diplomat refutes Bloomberg article on Russia's intentions to amend Ukraine plan
"This media outlet does not have any reliable sources close to the Kremlin," Maria Zakharova said
MOSCOW, December 25. /TASS/. The Bloomberg report about Russia's alleged amendments to the US peace plan for Ukraine is fake news, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said.
"It is fake news," the diplomat on her Telegram channel. "This media outlet does not have any reliable sources close to the Kremlin. Only unreliable ones. And the wording about ‘close to the Kremlin’ is a cover for fake news," she pointed out.
On December 24, Zelensky announced to reporters a 20-point plan that Ukraine allegedly discussed during negotiations in the US. The Kremlin and the Russian Foreign Ministry have repeatedly pointed out that Moscow is not satisfied with a number of provisions in Kiev's plan. In particular, Russia demands the complete withdrawal of Ukrainian troops from Donbass, Kiev's formal renunciation of NATO membership, and restrictions on the size of the Ukrainian army.
