Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday outline draft peace proposals discussed by the US and Ukraine could become the basis of future agreements to end the conflict in Ukraine, but if not Russia would continue fighting.
US President Donald Trump has long said he wants to end the war in Ukraine, Europes deadliest conflict since World War 2, but his efforts so far, including a summit with Putin in Alaska in August, have not brought peace.
A leaked 28-point US peace plan emerged last week, spooking Ukrainian and European officials who felt it bowed to Moscows key demands on Nato, Moscows control of a fifth of Ukraine and restrictions on Ukraines army.
