The conversations between Witkoff and Ushakov, and Dmitriev and Ushakov, about the so-called 'peace plan,' published by Bloomberg, have shocked the world. Americans are astonished that Witkoff is advising the Russians on how to deceive Trump."From the very beginning of the discussions about the 'peace plan,' I wrote that it was prepared in Russia and deliberately injected into the information space to be presented as American. And even under these conditions, there was no chance that Putin would agree to it unless it stipulated the de facto capitulation of Ukraine."Therefore, while working productively with the U.S., it is essential to recognize that Europe remains an equally important ally for us.The war will continue. Only a strong Ukraine, as part of a strong Europe in cooperation with the U.S., will stop Putin.And yes, for this to happen, Ukraine must be effective, non-corrupt, and united.This should be a good lesson for those who were convinced of the reality of this "fake" Russian peace and criticized the European integration processes.SourceAbout the author.
