Reports claiming that US President Donald Trump has a ready-made peace plan for Ukraine are false, according to RBC Ukraine, citing Ukraine’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Heorhii Tykhyi on February 7.
He clarified during a briefing that no such plan exists yet, and discussions on the parameters of peace will take place at the upcoming Munich Security Conference.
Tykhyi dismissed media claims suggesting that Trump’s special representative for Ukraine and Russia, Keith Kellogg, would present a peace plan at the Munich event.
“If General Kellogg had to deny himself that he would be ‘presenting a plan’ at the Munich Conference—and he did so yesterday—I think that’s a sign this is less of a media problem and more about the sources spreading this information,” Tykhyi said.
According to him, much of the information circulating about a supposed peace plan doesn’t come from the US, Ukraine, or Europe, but rather from Russian sources. He urged the public to approach such reports with caution.
“There will be contacts with Keith Kellogg, with [Trump advisor] Robert O’Brien, and with other US administration representatives, during which these issues will be clarified. Is there currently a finalized plan? From our understanding, there is no such plan. There are certain parameters, ongoing work, and development,” Tykhyi added.
He emphasized that while discussions are ongoing, it’s premature to announce any results. Some of these parameters will be coordinated during meetings with US representatives.
“We don’t expect a presentation of any finalized peace plan at the Munich Security Conference. There will be discussions about the parameters for achieving a just peace. Ukraine will present its position. That’s why Munich is so important—it’s an opportunity to convey Ukraine’s stance at the highest level. And it will be conveyed,” Tykhyi stated.
Tykhyi also confirmed that Ukraine is preparing for the next Ramstein-format meeting of defense leaders, which has proven effective between 2022 and 2024.
“Of course, we are preparing for the Ramstein meeting. We consider Ramstein an effective mechanism, an effective format, which has proven its worth over these years. It’s good that it continues to function,” he said.
Tykhyi stressed that the focus of the Ramstein meetings should be on the military assistance provided to Ukraine, not on which country chairs the discussions.
“We welcome that the British have taken on the role of convening the next Ramstein meeting. As for the American side—whether a US representative will be present—it’s better to leave those announcements to them. Let them decide and inform about their participation,” he added.
The upcoming meeting is expected to yield decisions on strengthening Ukraine’s defense capabilities, particularly in air defense, and on investing in Ukrainian weapons production.
Earlier, reports emerged that the next Ramstein format meeting of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group will take place on February 12, this time under the leadership of the United Kingdom instead of the United States.
