Sorry, I don't believe that. I'm not a supporter of Ukraine, but this sounds like Russian propaganda.
There's much lies and propaganda from all participants -- Russia, Ukraine, Britain, the U.S. I don't automatically believe anything that anyone of them says.
Except for Ukraine losing control of its foreign policy, requiring Ukraine to allow adoption of Russian as an offical language in certain areas to the detriment of ethnic Ukrainians living there, treating promotion of Ukrainian culture, customs, and identity as a sordid crime to be punished and eradicated, the terms were just dandy, in a boot-on-neck sort of way. Boris Johnson must be the diplomat of the millenium to have convinced Ukrainian nationalists to spurn a dreamy deal like that...
Kiev wanted to hold onto its right to make the Russian language illegal, and to protect Nazism. Then they murdered one of their own negotiators. Kind of a cool way to make their retarded point.
Ukraine is over with come November. Biden won’t need the distraction anymore, whether he wins or loses.
Those are just the ostensible reasons.
No, they rejected it because the CIA told Boris and Joe that the sanctions would defeat Putin.
“former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson had urged Kiev to avoid signing any agreements with Russia and instead focus on continuing the proxy fight.”
That seems to be the consensus of why this failed.
I’m getting the solid impression that the USA and NATO are the bad guys in the Ukraine - Russia war.
Actually I had it from the beginning but now it’s set cured concrete.
