Kremlin Acknowledges U.S. Outreach to Putin Over Proposed ‘Board of Peace’ Initiative
Moscow has confirmed that Russian President Vladimir Putin has received a formal invitation from U.S. President Donald Trump to take part in a proposed international diplomatic platform referred to as the “Board of Peace.” The initiative is being discussed as a potential mechanism to facilitate dialogue on the escalating crisis in Gaza and broader regional stability in the Middle East.
According to officials in the Kremlin, the proposal is currently under careful consideration. Russian authorities emphasized that any participation would depend on the framework, objectives, and inclusivity of the proposed forum. Moscow signaled cautious openness, noting that sustained communication with Washington remains important amid ongoing global tensions.
The suggested “Board of Peace” is reportedly envisioned as a multilateral body that could bring together key global and regional actors to explore pathways toward de-escalation, humanitarian relief, and longer-term political solutions. While details about its structure and membership have not been publicly outlined, the initiative reflects renewed diplomatic engagement between major powers at a time of heightened international concern over the Gaza conflict.
Kremlin spokespersons highlighted that Russia has consistently advocated for dialogue-based solutions and respect for international law in conflict zones. They reiterated Moscow’s position that lasting peace in the Middle East requires balanced negotiations that take into account the interests of all affected parties, rather than unilateral approaches.
The outreach from Washington is being viewed by analysts as a notable diplomatic signal, given the strained relations between the United States and Russia in recent years. If pursued further, the proposal could mark a rare area of cooperation between the two nations on a critical global issue.
For now, Moscow says it is studying the proposal and expects further clarification from the U.S. side. Whether the “Board of Peace” will materialize into a concrete diplomatic platform remains uncertain, but the exchange itself underscores ongoing efforts to keep diplomatic channels open amid complex international challenges.
