A document reportedly prepared for the Kremlin outlines a strategy for Russia to undermine the United States' negotiating position on Ukraine by creating tensions between the Trump administration and other nations. The document also details Moscow’s continued efforts to dismantle the Ukrainian government.

The document, obtained by The Washington Post, stated that Russia should pursue a plan that includes stoking divisions between the US and its allies while maintaining its military and political objectives in Ukraine.

Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the Kremlin “was not aware of such recommendations,” and said they  were “extremely contradictory." He added, “We are working with more-considered options.”
