Ukrainian officials close to #Zelensky revealed in #Ukrainian media that UK PM told him not to sign peace deal & that West would not provide guarantees if he would sign such deal. #Russia leaders made similar statements. Ex senior US officials confirmed such peace deal framework.
Sources close to Zelenskyy revealed that UK PM came "almost without warning" with 2 messages: "Putin is a war criminal, he should be pressured, not negotiated with" & "even if Ukraine is ready to sign some agreements on guarantees with Putin, they are not" pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2022/…
Ex US National Security Council official wrote citing "multiple former senior U.S. officials" that Russia & Ukraine agreed in April on peace deal framework of #Russia withdrawing to pre-war positions & #Ukraine promising not to seek #NATO membership.
"Back in March... a deal was possible. That did not happen. Enter Joe Biden and Boris Johnson, their interventions, and the sense that what had been a war to defend and restore Ukraine’s sovereignty had became a proxy war between the west and Russia." theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
Only few mainstream Western media reported revelations that peace deal framework to end #UkraineRussiaWar was stopped by British PM in April. I mentioned this in my interview published recently by popular Spanish newspaper. Other media deny or ignore this. larazon.es/internacional/…
I also analyzed revelations in my academic study of #UkraineRussiaWar that I presented at Annual Meeting of American Political Science Association. Their denial is political, like denial of Western-backed violent overthrow of Ukrainian government in 2014. doi.org/10.33774/apsa-…
"Ukraine's 10-point plan Journalist Farida Rustamova obtained the full list of Kyiv's proposals to Moscow on March 29" meduza.io/en/slides/ukra…
My interview on David Feldman Show: "Professor Ivan Katchanovski, one of the world’s leading experts on Ukraine, says Ukraine and Russia struck a deal to stop the fighting, but Britain’s Boris Johnson killed it. Why?" #UkraineRussiaWar

Wow! Maidan massacre trial in #Ukraine reveals testimonies of 3 more wounded Maidan protesters about snipers in Maidan-controlled Hotel Ukraina. One saw snipers there. Two testified that they could have been wounded from this hotel. No media reports. 2:40:
Berkut lawyer cited testimonies by dozens of wounded Maidan protesters & prosecution & defense witnesses about snipers in Hotel Ukraina & other Maidan-controlled buildings. Government investigation denies any snipers there despite testimonies, videos of snipers & forensic experts
Now, at least 50 out of 72 wounded Maidan protesters, with whose shooting Berkut police is charged, testified at Maidan massacre trial & investigation that they were shot by snipers from Maidan-controlled buildings & areas &/or witnessed snipers there.
Zelenskyy claims that Russian forces plan to destroy dam in Russian-annexed Kherson Region in false-flag attack in order to blame Ukraine & end supply of water to Russian-annexed Crimea. He says that this would be equivalent to weapons of mass destruction. pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2022/…
Couple of days ago, #Russia claimed that #Ukrainian forces plan to destroy this hydroelectric power station dam on the Dnieper River in Russian-occupied area in order to flood #Kherson city and other nearby areas annexed by Russia. Neither side provided any evidence.
Blowing up dam & ending water supply to Russian-annexed Crimea would be as beneficial to Putin as blowing up Nord Stream to end supply of Russian gas to Germany, blowing up Crimea bridge to cut supplies to Crimea & Kherson & bombing its occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power station
In potentially major escalation, #Russian missile strikes in Kyiv might have targeted & damaged building of EU mission near pedestrian bridge & building, which was used before war by Canadian Police mission & now also used as far-right Bratstvo headquarters. It is near playground
Bot buildings in #Kyiv were damaged by Russian missile strikes. This suggests that they might have targeted EU mission & suspended Canadian Police mission &/or far-right Bratstvo. This can be major escalation of proxy war & can qualify as indiscriminate strikes in civilian areas.
My Al Jazeera interview about far-right Bratstvo & its St Mary’s battalion.
While he & Ukrainian military are not Nazi or neo-Nazi, contrary to #Russian propaganda used to justify illegal invasion of #Ukraine, open brandishing of bracelet with swastika by Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in tweet mentioning World War Two is striking.
Unbelievable: After de facto admissions by top Ukrainian officials of responsibility for suicide bombing of #Crimea bridge, Security Service of #Ukraine anonymously admits that it is behind suicide bombing of #crimeabridge. This was #Zelenskyy decision. pravda.com.ua/rus/news/2022/…
"The Security Service of Ukraine (SSU) is behind the explosion on the Crimean bridge.
