🇺🇸🇺🇦🇷🇺 Nuland Admits US Discouraged Ukraine From Signing Russia Peace Deal At Moment It Was 'Really Close'
Exiled Russian journalist Mikhail Zygar recently sat down with her for a new interview published to YouTube earlier this month.
The most interesting part of the interview was when he pressed Nuland on widespread reports saying that British Prime Minister Boris Johnson actively encouraged President Zelensky to back out of a potential peace deal with Moscow early after the Feb.2022 Russian invasion.
There was a possible chance to end the war and perhaps avoid hundreds of thousands of deaths. But the West apparently convinced Zelensky to fight it out.
But a deal was on the table, and Russia was demanding a full commitment to Ukrainian neutrality regarding NATO. Nuland laid out that it was "relatively late in the game" when Kiev started seeking guidance on the peace deal from Washington and its allies. Zygar said there were statements from foreign leaders privy to the negotiations saying both sides were "really close" to achieving a deal.
"The Ukrainians began asking for advice on where this thing was going, and it became clear to us, clear to us and the Brits, clear to others, that Putin’s main condition was buried in an annex to this document that they were working on. And it included limits on the precise kinds of weapons systems that Ukraine could have after the deal," Nuland introduced in response.
She went on to describe that Washington didn't like that the end result of the deal would leave Ukraine "neutered" as a military force while at the same time the same limits weren't imposed on the Russian military. "
People inside Ukraine and people outside Ukraine started asking questions about whether this was a good deal, and it was at that point that it fell apart," Nuland admitted.
By contrast, "there were no similar constraints on Russia," Nuland said. "Russia wasn’t required to pull back, Russia wasn’t required to have a buffer zone from the Ukrainian border, wasn’t required to have the same constraints on its military facing Ukraine."

Dr. David Martin: "Remdesivir was too unethical to put into Ebola clinical trials in Africa because it had a 53% kill rate."
"But it was chosen in April and May of 2020 to be the drug of choice to treat Covid... despite the fact that the World Health Organisation said it was unethical to use it."
