[National Pulse] Anti-Russia warmonger and recent Biden-Harris official Victoria Nuland has admitted that Ukraine and Russia were approaching a peace deal in 2022 but that the United States blocked the deal, claiming it was unfair to Ukraine.Nuland was questioned about claims first reported by Raheem Kassam, Editor-in-Chief of The National Pulse, suggesting that British Prime Minister Boris Johnson had encouraged Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to reject a potential peace deal with Moscow in 2022.
This was later confirmed by Russian President Vladimir Putin during an interview with Tucker Carlson earlier this year.
Nuland explained that foreign leaders involved in the negotiations believed the parties were close to reaching an agreement. However, the terms of the proposed deal, especially those regarding military constraints on Ukraine but not on Russia, were an issue for Western powers.
"Putin’s main condition was buried in an annex," she said, referring to restrictions on Ukraine’s future military capabilities while similar limits were not imposed on the Russian military.
She admitted, "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."
"Russia wasn’t required to pull back... wasn’t required to have the same constraints on its military facing Ukraine," she stated.
The peace deal aimed to establish Ukraine as a permanently neutral and non-nuclear state that would not join military alliances like NATO or host foreign military bases.
Nuland’s admissions highlight that Western powers were concerned with ensuring Russia remained weakened, even at the expense of immediate peace.
Since 2022 attempted peace negotiations, estimates claim as many as hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian and Russian troops have been killed in the conflict.
