What she actually said, from the YouTube transcript:

55:25 ...it became clear to us uh clear to the Brits
55:32 clear to others that Putin's main condition was
55:38 buried in an Annex uh to this document that they were working on and it
55:45 included limits on the precise kinds of Weapons Systems that Ukraine could have
55:52 after the deal such that Ukraine would basically be neutered as a military
55:58 force and there were no similar constraints on Russia Russia wasn't required to pull back Russia wasn't
56:05 wasn't required to have a buffer zone from the Ukrainian border wasn't required to have the same constraints on
56:11 its military facing Ukraine um and so uh
56:17 people inside Ukraine and people outside Ukraine started asking questions about whether this was a good deal and it was
56:23 at that point that it that it fell apart...
Nuland never said the Brits or US blocked the deal. People in and outside Ukraine, questioned if it was a good deal at all becks it left door open for Russia to invade again while leaving Ukraine defenseless. This assumes Russia would follow through on its end, which no one took seriously. The reality is the deal Putin offered was so bad Zelensky didn't need anyone to tell him it was telegraphing Putin would never honor it.

Why would Russia want to bomb Ukraine at that time?

This was just NATO paranoia.

Together with what Nuland, Boris Johnson, Angie Merkel and others have said, she only reinforced and provided more details to what is becoming the official narrative. These details only come out because someone wanted it out there. Time to dump the EU and US globalists.
