At the beginning of April 2022, a peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine was almost finalized. Then it was mysteriously torpedoed.
Former US Deputy Secretary of State Victoria Nuland admitted in an interview with Russian journalist Mikhail Zygar that she sabotaged the peace agreement. A broad smile crossed her face.
The agreement would have prevented a million deaths and given Ukraine back most of its land.
Nuland said the peace talks failed because the U.S., Britain and other Western countries "told" Zelensky's government it was "not a good deal," while members of the Ukrainian delegation said in recent interviews it was actually an excellent deal, a good deal. In fact, they said it was the best deal Ukraine could get and they had already opened a bottle of champagne.
Russian troops would withdraw from all Ukrainian territories except Donbass and Crimea. At a later meeting, Putin and Zelensky would discuss the status of these territories in return for neutral status and demilitarization of Ukraine.
had previously The online newspaper Ukrainska Pravda written that the then British Prime Minister Boris Johnson paid a surprise visit to President Zelensky in order to sabotage the agreement. US Secretary of State Blinken was also not in favor of the agreement.
Three days after Johnson's surprise visit, the peace agreement was off the table. The war could have been over in a few weeks. It didn't happen because they didn't want the war to end.
In 2014, Nuland was embarrassed by a leaked phone conversation. In the conversation with the US ambassador in Kiev, she criticized the role of the European Union in the Ukraine crisis. She was annoyed that the EU initially did not want to impose sanctions against Moscow. “Fuck the EU,” she once said.
The telephone conversation showed that the new corrupt regime in Ukraine had already been installed by America, which Marie-Thérèse ter Haar and Emeritus Professor Karel van Wolferen had previously written about in Reformatorisch Dagblad .
Nuland's husband Robert Kagan co-founded the Foreign Policy Initiative (FPI) think tank with William Kristol in 2009.
They are also co-founders of the Project for the New American Century (PNAC), a neoconservative think tank that played a key role in the lead-up to the Bush administration's invasion of Iraq. According to insiders, PNAC is actually a new name for the FPI.
It turned out that the FPI had connections with politicians who were closely involved in the situation in Ukraine. Kagan was also a foreign policy adviser to the late Senator John McCain.
While then-Secretary of State John Kerry tried to bring peace to Ukraine, McCain pushed for an expansion of the conflict. He wanted to force then-President Obama to send weapons to Ukraine by law.
McCain was among Ukrainian opposition leaders, including right-wing extremist Oleh Tjahnybok. Nuland handed out cakes to demonstrators and police officers in Independence Square, the center of protests in Kiev.
Retired Colonel Douglas Macgregor said Nuland has been involved in everything that is happening in Ukraine for at least 14 to 15 years.
