There's never a dull moment when former high-ranking State Department official Victoria Nuland goes on the record for a new tell-all.
"People inside Ukraine and people outside Ukraine started asking questions about whether this was a good deal, and it was at that point that it fell apart," Nuland admitted.
Ukraine would renounce any intention to join military alliances or allow foreign military bases or troops on its soil."
What Nuland is essentially saying is that if a deal didn't ensure a weakened or limited Russian military, then they were willing to crumple it up and go home, while watching Ukraine go up in flames, which is sadly exactly what has happened.
And it included limits on the precise kinds of weapons systems that Ukraine could have after the deal," Nuland introduced in response.
Nuland laid out that it was "relatively late in the game" when Kiev started seeking guidance on the peace deal from Washington and its allies.
The most interesting part of the interview was when he pressed Nuland on widespread reports saying that British Prime Minister Boris Johnson actively encouraged President Zelensky to back out of a potential peace deal with Moscow early after the Feb.2022 Russian invasion.
