"Operation Decoy." France Warns Trump About Putin's Plan

What Putin really planned
As the French Foreign Minister noted, the temporary "truce" announced by the illegitimate Russian president on the evening of April 19 was just an illusion.
He also stood up for Ukraine, which Moscow cynically accused of violating the “ceasefire.”
The Easter truce, which he (Putin — ed.) announced somewhat unexpectedly, was a marketing operation, a decoy operation aimed at preventing the increase in impatience and anger of President Trump.

We cannot ignore the fact that it was the aggressor country, the Russian Federation, that rejected the proposal for a complete ceasefire.
Moreover, Moscow cynically put forward a long list of conditions that delay its implementation.
The Russian army has also repeatedly violated the agreed agreement not to strike Ukrainian energy infrastructure for 30 days.
According to US leader Donald Trump, he began to doubt that he would be able to bring the war to an end.
The head of the White House also makes no secret of the fact that he is "angry" about Putin's actions.
Trump recently made it clear that he may soon withdraw from the negotiation process.
