Kremlin: Putin to Review New US Proposals on Ukraine Settlement

Russian President Vladimir Putin will carefully study new proposals and suggestions on resolving the Ukraine crisis brought by US special envoy Steve Witkoff, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on May 21. Peskov said President Donald Trump and his negotiating team are actively pushing for a peaceful settlement and that important progress in the talks is possible. Russia will decide its next steps based on the situation, he added.

The Kremlin's wording is carefully non-committal: "carefully study" signals review, not acceptance, and the framing that decisions will follow "the situation" leaves Moscow room to stall without rejecting Washington's outreach outright. The emphasis on Trump's team actively pushing a settlement shifts the burden of momentum onto the US side, which matters for how any eventual concessions are characterized. Whether Peskov's talk of "important progress" is matched by concrete Russian movement is the open question; until then, the language reads as diplomatic breathing room rather than a breakthrough.
