A senior Kremlin official has approached Western diplomats and intelligence chiefs in a bid to help end the war in Ukraine, it was alleged last night.
The source is said to have claimed that much of Moscow's elite are highly concerned about the trajectory of Russian president Vladimir Putin's invasion into the neighbouring country and are alarmed by the bite of wide-ranging sanctions levied by the West in response.
A document, purportedly circulated to Western intelligence agencies and seen by The Mirror, said: 'A representative of Putin's inner-circle sent a signal about the desire to negotiate.
.. It is unclear which member of Moscow's top officials is likely to have undermined Putin's plans, but the document supposedly described the insider as a 'pillar of the regime' in Russia.
A Ukrainian diplomatic source told The Mirror they would not be surprised to hear that high level Kremlin officials are attempting to connect with Western intelligence agencies behind Putin's back.
'It is often the case as happened in the closing stages of the Second World War that officials on a side concerned about their future make approaches to ensure it,' the source said.
If a top politician in Moscow were to publicly declare a desire for peace in Ukraine or criticise Putin, their life would be in extreme danger along with their family.
Anatoly Chubais, a former deputy prime minister who oversaw Russia's transformation from communist to capitalist economy, resigned his post as Putin's special envoy to international organisations in March and left Russia to live in exile in protest over the the war.
The 67-year-old was taken suddenly and seriously ill late last month after experiencing numbness in his limbs and is now believed to be in intensive care suffering from a rare neurological disorder.

Just withdraw ass-hat!
Then we can talk about "putting an end to the invasion."
Regards,
I think cutting off Putin’s head and broadcasting a video of it would be a good start.
Here's a face saving altertnative.
“The source”
Yep, it’s real simple.
For all your globalist warmongering needs, turn to George Soros. (also sponsored by Pfizer)
In Putin’s mind and those within the inner circle of Oligarch guys...there has to be a win-win scenario somewhere in the middle of this business. They want all the sanctions ended, some kind of acknowledgement of Ukraine being less independent, and some agreement that NATO will not be a player in countries like Bulgaria, Poland, and the Baltic states.
Once you write this down...there’s no outcome possible for Ukraine, NATO or the EU to be agreeable.
Added to this mess, there are two Oligarch groups (the original crowd from the 2000-era, and the group that came after Putin gained power). The outer circle has no power or control now over Putin. The inner circle (mostly FSB/KGB former members) still have a persuasion power with Putin.
Economically-speaking, the longer this goes on...the more people will settle upon exiting the country, and working elsewhere. So they could end up in two years with a communications network marginally working because the IT core of operators left the country. Same with banks, and various technology sectors.
There is no saving face for Moscow anymore.
Then we can talk about "putting an end to the invasion."
Or so the Germans would have us believe.
You nailed it.
these absurd articles make FR look ridiculous
enough with the Ukraine war propaganda already
it’s absolutely disgusting to see Clinton-Soros water-carrying on FR
like watching a gay prostitute solicit in your church
The could of used his Western Intelligence Code Name..... Dead Man Walking. Why was this leaked unless the West wants to start a back draft fire in the Kremlin....
“:^)
Yeah, seems as you say, this is a peace deal that is going
nowhere.
Nice job, creating one big no-mans land.
