| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. Hersh. Shoulda known. I suspect Col. General Gerasimov has his hands full being Shoigu's chief of staff. [Regnum] Secret peace negotiations are being conducted by Moscow and Kiev at the level of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) Valery Zaluzhny and the Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces Valery Gerasimov . American journalist, Pulitzer Prize winner Seymour Hersh
The journalist announced secret negotiations that are being conducted bypassing the head of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky, citing anonymous sources in the American administration and Americans familiar with the situation in the Ukrainian government. “The driving force behind these negotiations was not Washington or Moscow, not [US President Joseph] Biden or [Russian President Vladimir] Putin , but the two senior generals who are running the war, Valery Gerasimov for Russia and Valery Zaluzhny for Ukraine,” Hersh explained. According to Hersh, citing a high-ranking official, Zaluzhny was pushed to the decision to negotiate peace with Russia by certain key figures on the American side. At the same time, Zelensky was made to understand that negotiations would be held regardless of his wishes. According to the journalist, the agreement discussed at the negotiations assumes that the Russian-Ukrainian border will be fixed along the current front line. The Republic of Crimea, as well as the territories of the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics (DPR and LPR), Kherson and Zaporozhye regions will remain Russian, but in return it is assumed that Russia will not object to Ukraine joining NATO without the right to station troops and offensive weapons of the alliance on its territory. Earlier, IA Regnum reported that, as political scientist Alexander Asafov, a member of the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation , said, the West is not ready to end the Ukrainian conflict, therefore the head of the Kiev regime Zelensky continues to actively deny the possibility of an early truce with Moscow. The Ukrainian leader, in an interview with The Sun magazine, said that he is not ready to sit down at the negotiating table with Russia now. He acknowledged the difficult situation of the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the battlefield, but the head of the Kyiv regime flatly refused to enter into a peace treaty with Moscow.
