The Institute for the Study of War (ISW) reported the information.American analysts note that on December 1, negotiations between Steve Witkoff and Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine Rustem Umerov continued in Florida. At the same time, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov announced that the meeting between the U.S. Special Representative and Vladimir Putin would take place in Moscow on December 2 in the afternoon, and a video report on its beginning would be published on official resources. However, it is unknown whether a report on its results will be published."The Kremlin is setting conditions to refrain from publicly discussing the outcomes of the December 2 U.S.-Russian meeting, possibly in order to obfuscate Russia’s likely rejection of the US-Ukrainian peace proposal," the ISW believes.They also recalled that Russian officials and military bloggers have consistently rejected the 28-point peace plan and its subsequent versions since its first publication in mid-November 2025, but constantly refer to unadvertised agreements allegedly reached during the meeting between Putin and U.S. President Donald Trump in Anchorage on August 15."The Kremlin has been exploiting the lack of clarity about the Alaska summit to conceal the way the Kremlin — not Ukraine — is impeding the negotiations process by sticking to its original war demands," the analysts are convinced.They suggest that Moscow will likely try to repeat this approach during the upcoming U.S.-Russia meeting on December 2 and is setting conditions to hide the details of the negotiations from the public, probably because the Kremlin will reject the terms of the plan."The Kremlin likely seeks to avoid framing Russia as an impediment to ending the war in Ukraine if Moscow rejects the peace deal that the United States will present to Russia, and that Ukraine agreed to," the Institute for the Study of War concluded.On December 1, the head of the Ukrainian negotiating group in the U.S., Rustem Umerov, stated that significant progress had been made on the peace plan during the negotiations in Florida.
