The Americans counted on Kyiv accepting any conditions due to its security struggles. But when Zelenskyy refused to sign, something even more unexpected happened...
FYI: I ended up posting this with some reservation. Pravda’s mediabias is mostly factual.
The story sounds quite credible. Other media’s report are more or less similar, but weren’t as complete. check out telegraph
and that’s just saying it nicely. The whole thing stinks imo.
The last piece of the storyr really sort of details this US administration way of negotiating, and it smells mafia style/Putinesk.
edit: seems like your edit makes it even sketchier.
