The Kremlin has urged Ukraine to negotiate now to prevent territorial losses, following the American proposal for resolving the conflict.

The Kremlin called on Friday for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to initiate immediate negotiations to prevent further territorial losses amid a Russian offensive. Dmitry Peskov, the Kremlin's spokesperson, emphasized that the room for maneuver in Zelensky's decisions is shrinking as Ukraine loses territory. This statement came a day after a surprising proposal from the United States was published to exit the conflict with Russia. Peskov mentioned that Moscow has not received official details about the American proposal.
