Russia and the United States are agreeing on how to bring Kyiv to the negotiating table - Putin’s ex-adviser
There is an intense dialogue between the United States and Russia about how to force Kyiv to the negotiating table.
This was stated by former Russian presidential adviser and economist Andrei Illarionov, who fled to the United States, on the air of the video blog "Yes, That's True," reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.

According to Illarionov, leaks in the American press have become more frequent that US and EU officials are discussing with Ukraine the possibility of negotiations with the Russian Federation.
“It's all true what NBC reported. Indeed, these negotiations are ongoing across all channels, and information about this is leaked regularly to all those people who gain access either to the White House or to some other channels - they receive this information and report it.
Yes, indeed, negotiations are ongoing. Negotiations are taking place through diplomatic channels, through the channels of the intelligence services, and there are constant contacts between the White House and the Kremlin on how to force Ukraine to negotiate.
Sullivan regularly talks about this with Patrushev, Burns regularly talks about this with Naryshkin, and perhaps not so regularly they talk about it through diplomatic channels. To do this, you don’t need to look at the official statements of the White House,” Illarionov reasoned.
