Former US Under Secretary of State Victoria Nuland confirmed that the US, UK, and other Western allies advised Ukraine to reject the 2022 Istanbul peace talks deal with Russia.
The agreement would have limited Ukraine’s military capabilities while leaving Russia unrestrained.
The deal collapsed after UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s visit to Kyiv, encouraging President Zelensky to continue fighting.
Russian President Putin recently reiterated that the failure of the talks was due to Western elites’ desire to inflict a strategic defeat.
