Regarding the latter, everything is clear. Putin found Kushner's fresh ears and 'briefly' introduced him to history (for about two and a half hours). Then there were several 'peace treaty' projects to confuse everyone (the tactics of shell game scammers), an exchange of 'pleasantries,' and a clear 'no' to the Americans' proposals, because "compromise" means Ukraine must surrender."It is important for Putin to last until Christmas to secure money for another two months while Europe and the U.S. celebrate the New Year holidays. For Ukraine, unfortunately, this is another New Year without peace."Putin hopes that in two months he will present the bill not to us, but to Europe (we return to the statement about non-aggression against the EU). Another trick of the bandits from the alley - jumped out of the dark and struck.I very much hope that this tactic has already been 'read' by those who need to. And Putin and his entourage will sooner or later have to answer. Better sooner, of course.SourceAbout the author.
