The Kremlin said on November 25 that it had noted that US President-elect Donald Trump's team discussed a peace plan for Ukraine, while criticizing President Joe Biden's administration for only seeking to escalate the conflict.

On November 25, Russia announced that its air defense systems had shot down eight ballistic missiles from Ukraine, but did not mention the type of missiles shot down or the locations where the interceptions were carried out.

On the same day, Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) were also deployed towards a fuel storage facility in Russia's Kaluga region, according to Ukrainian sources.

Trump team's peace plan

The Kremlin said on November 25 that it had recorded US President-elect Donald Trump's team discussing a peace plan for Ukraine, while accusing President Joe Biden's administration of seeking to escalate the conflict.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov made the comment during an interview with Mike Waltz, Trump's pick for national security adviser, on Fox News.

In the interview, Mr. Waltz said that Mr. Trump was “deeply concerned” about the escalation of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.

“What we need to discuss is who will be at the negotiating table, whether it will be a deal or a ceasefire, how to convince both sides to join the negotiating effort, and then the framework of the deal,” Mr. Waltz analyzed.

Mr. Peskov said the Kremlin noted the above comments and Russian President Vladimir Putin repeatedly sent signals that Moscow was ready for dialogue on the Ukraine issue.

"In fact, from Trump supporters and nominees for positions in the future US administration, we hear the word 'peace' or 'peace plan'," TASS quoted the Kremlin spokesman as saying.

"No such words have come from the current (President Joe Biden) administration, while escalating provocations continue. That is the reality we face," said Mr. Peskov.

Previously, Reuters cited sources revealing that President Putin was ready to discuss a peace agreement in Ukraine with Mr. Trump, but Kyiv had to accept some conditions from Moscow.

Reuters listed the things that President Putin would accept if Mr. Trump acted as a mediator: Ukraine would give up its ambition to join NATO and Moscow would not make any significant concessions on territorial issues.
