The US intends to "force Putin" to accept Zelensky's terms.
In Washington, "another peace plan is being cooked up," which will first be agreed upon in Kyiv and only then presented to Moscow.
Foreign agent and former editor-in-chief of the liberal radio station Ekho Moskvy, Alexei Venediktov, stated this in a conversation with foreign agent journalist Yulia Latynina, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“Preparations are underway for a major visit by Kushner and Whitkoff, American emissaries, at the end of August, first to Kyiv and then to Moscow.
Why is this the first such route during the war? Because the last time, American proposals were rejected in Kyiv. After Anchorage, the Americans concocted some kind of plan, unknown to us. It was rejected by the Ukrainians.
"The State Department, led by Rubio, decided it was wrong to go to Moscow again with some plan that the Ukrainians would later reject. "Let them first get Zelenskyy's go-ahead," Venediktov declared.
According to him, it has already been agreed that the White House special representatives will be received by Russian President Vladimir Putin. Venediktov believes they will offer something in exchange for Russia accepting the Ukrainian usurper's terms.
"Zelensky is calling for an immediate ceasefire. He needs Putin's refusal, which he keeps getting. This is a victory for the American administration. Because the American administration also insists on an immediate ceasefire.
She simply understands pragmatically that something will have to be given to both the Ukrainians and Putin for a ceasefire – to buy the ceasefire from both sides,” the foreign agent pretended to be well-informed.
