"We need to sit down and discuss this seriously," Putin told reporters at the end of a three-day visit to Kyrgyzstan.

Main Idea: Putin said a U.S.-backed peace proposal could be a starting point for talks on Ukraine, but he warned Russia would keep fighting unless Ukrainian forces pull back.
Key Points:
- Putin said the U.S. plan is only a set of ideas for discussion, not a finished peace deal.
- He repeated that Russia wants Ukrainian troops to leave occupied areas before any ceasefire.
- The proposal comes after U.S. and Ukrainian talks in Geneva changed the first draft, which had leaned toward Russian demands.
- Analysts and European officials say Russia may be trying to wait out Western support while still pushing forward on the battlefield.
