Kremlin says Ukraine peace plan mooted by lawmaker 'absurd'

MOSCOW, Feb 20 (Reuters) The Kremlin said today it had no prior knowledge of a Ukrainian lawmaker's peace plan for his country, which was detailed in the New York Times newspaper, and called it absurd anyway.
The US newspaper reported that Andrii Artemenko, a Ukrainian lawmaker, had sent a proposal to associates of US President Donald Trump that was designed to end a simmering conflict in eastern Ukraine between pro-Russian separatists and government forces.
According to the New York Times, the mooted plan would entail Russian forces withdrawing from eastern Ukraine and Ukrainian voters deciding in a referendum whether Crimea, which Moscow annexed from Ukraine in 2014, would be leased to Russia for a term of 50 or 100 years.
