Wow! Nuland basically admits that Ukraine-Russia peace deal, which was close to being finalized in spring 2022, “fell apart” because US, UK & other Western governments “advised” Zelensky government that it was not “good deal” even though even members of Ukrainian delegation stated in recent interviews that this was very good deal, best deal that Ukraine could get & “very real compromise” & that Ukrainian delegation celebrated it with champagne. She basically confirms statements by ex-Israeli PM, head of Ukrainian delegation, Ukrainian officials close to Zelensky, ex-German chancellor & Turkish FM that US & UK blocked this peace deal, which was close to being finalized.

Victoria Nuland does not mention at all Russian war crimes in Bucha, which were inflated & mispresented by politicians, media & self-proclaimed experts as reason for ending peace talks. The peace deal agreement included withdrawal of Russian forces from all territory of Ukraine, with exceptions of Donbas & Crimea, whose status was to be determined at meeting of Putin & Zelensky, in exchange for neutral status & demilitarization of Ukraine.

Former Israeli prime minister said that US and other Western leaders blocked #Ukraine & #Russia peace deal which he negotiated on #Zelensky request in March because they wanted to continue to strike Putin. He said that there was good chance of such deal.
Ukrainian delegation head at Ukraine-Russia talks confirmed that Western countries told Zelensky not to sign peace deal in spring 2022 & said that "Boris Johnson came to Kyiv and said that we would not sign anything with them at all, and let's just fight."
Ex leader of Germany: "At the peace negotiations in Istanbul in March 2022 with Rustem Umerov, the Ukrainians did not agree on peace because they were not allowed to. For everything they discussed, they first had to ask the Americans."
Ukrainian media reported citing Ukrainian officials close to Zelensky that peace deal to end war was abandoned after British PM visited #Ukraine & told #Zelenskyy on behalf of "collective West" not to negotiate with Putin.
Ukrainian Ambassador Chalyi, who participated in Ukraine-Russia peace talks in spring 2022, stated that "we concluded" "Istanbul Communique" & "were very close in... April to finalize our war with some peaceful settlement" & this was “very real compromise"
Victoria Nuland, who was then one of top US State Department officials:
“But relatively late in the game, the Ukrainians began asking for advice on where this thing was going, and it became clear to us, clear to the Brits, clear to others that Putin's main condition was buried in an Annex to this document that they were working on. And it included limits on the precise kinds of weapons systems that Ukraine could have after the deal, such that Ukraine would basically be neutered as a military force. And there were no similar constraints on Russia. Russia wasn't required to pull back. Russia wasn't required to have a buffer zone from the Ukrainian border, wasn't required to have the same constraints on its military facing Ukraine. And so 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.”
My 2022 APSA study: researchgate.net/publication/36… "Ukrainian officials close to Zelenskyy revealed that the British prime minister visited Kyiv in April 2022 to block a peace deal with Russia after the Ukrainian government delegation in peace talks with Russia in its written peace plan proposal reportedly agreed to neutrality of Ukraine, no bases and troops from foreign countries, and no nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction. Putin made a similar statement. Naftali Bennett, the former Israeli prime minister also said that Western leaders, primarily the US and the UK, blocked the Ukraine-Russia peace deal, which he negotiated with Putin on Zelensky’s request in March 2022 and which had about 50% chance of being reached, because they wanted to continue to strike Putin. He says that after Putin promised him not to kill Zelensky and dropped demilitarization of Ukraine demand during his meeting on March 5, 2022, Zelensky dropped NATO membership of Ukraine. “Multiple former senior U.S. officials” confirmed that Russia and Ukraine agreed in April on a peace deal outline (Hill and Stent, 2022)...

There have been many more additional civilian casualties as a result of the ongoing war versus a possible peace deal that was close to agreement by the beginning of April 2022."
My @Weltwoche 2013 interview: academia.edu/99297721/The_F… "Former Israeli prime minister Bennett recently revealed that the Biden administration and leaders of other major Western countries blocked the Ukraine-Russia peace deal, which he was negotiating as a mediator on Zelensky request in March 2022, because they wanted to continue to strike Putin. Bennett said that there was a good chance of reaching such a deal and that Putin promised not to kill Zelensky and dropped demilitarization of Ukraine demand, while Zelensky dropped NATO membership of Ukraine. Fionna Hill, the former senior U.S. National Security Council official wrote in Foreign Affairs magazine that according to many former senior US officials Russia and Ukraine “tentatively agreed on the outline of a negotiated transitional settlement.” Ukrainska pravda previously reported citing sources close to Zelensky that the peace talks broke because of the visit by then British prime minister Boris Johnson to Kyiv in April 2022 after he delivered Zelensky the message from “the collective West” not to negotiate with Putin but to “press him” and that the West would not provide security guarantees even if Ukraine would sign a peace agreement with Russia.

As a result, Zelensky abandoned peaceful resolution of the armed conflict and gambled against the odds on winning the war with Russia with massive military, intelligence, economic, and humanitarian assistance of the West, which uses Ukraine to contain and weaken Russia. This decision has tremendous consequences for Ukraine."
US senator JD Vance, who later became vice-president candidate: c-span.org/video/?535093-… “Indeed, as multiple people, both critics of Vladimir Putin and supporters of Ukraine have pointed out, there was a peace deal on the table approximately 18 months ago. And what happened to it? The Biden administration pushed Zelenskyy to set aside the peace agreement and to engage in a disastrous counter-offensive, a counter offensive that killed thousands, tens of thousands of Ukrainians, and depleted a decades worth of military stock and left us where we are now, where every observer of the war acknowledges that the war is worse for Ukraine than it was 18 months ago. Could we have avoided it, yes, we could and we should have avoided it. We would have saved a lot of lives and American weapons and we would have had this country in a better and more stable place if we had.”
I meant 2023 interview
Mainstream media blackout of this admission by Victoria Nuland is revealing

Wow! Declassified text of Ukrainian court verdict in March 2025 confirms false flag shooting of Maidan activists in Khmelnytsky by far-right Maidan activists during Maidan massacre & confirms my study findings. Expert examination of videos, forensic ballistic and medical examinations, on-site investigative experiments, and witness testimonies & investigations by SBU & Ukrainian military prosecutor showed that gunshots made from SBU veranda, which was occupied by Maidan activists, killed elderly female Maidan protester & wounded 4 others. Verdict acquitted ex-head of Khmelnytskyi SBU & SBU Alfa officer for shooting of these Maidan activists because of lack of evidence and because of such evidence of false flag shooting.

The verdict cites various eyewitnesses who testified that several Maidan activists broke into veranda (extension) of SBU building, that gunshots at Maidan activists came from this veranda when it was occupied by "radical" Maidan activists & that accused SBU officers did not make these gunshots.

The verdict states that investigation after it was transferred to the same special department of Prosecutor General Office that investigated Maidan massacre "was not conducted fully and comprehensively, and was also obviously biased" and "committed a number of significant violations of the requirements of the Criminal Code, as well as the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine, which entailed the recognition of evidence as inadmissible."

Relevant parts of verdict: (automatic translation):
- Security Service of Ukraine "commission, based on the results of an official investigation involving specialists in firearms and tactical and special training of the CSO "A" of the SBU, concluded that "the burst of shots from automatic weapons that rang out on February 19, 2014 at 12:36 p.m. and as a result of which some civilians who were near the administrative building were injured, was fired from the vestibule of the central entrance of the Department, where at that time unidentified individuals from among the aggressive protesters were located";

- expert's conclusion based on the results of the ballistic examination of weapon traces, gunshot traces and situational circumstances of the shot under No. 5935/5936/16-33 dated 01.07.2016, from which it follows that: 1. According to the results of the investigative experiment dated 12.04.2016, 18.03.2016 and 25.02.2016, it can be concluded that under the known circumstances and materials of the criminal proceedings, it was not possible to fire shots into the lower right static sash of the glass extension to the central entrance to the department, nor from the second floor of the administrative building, nor from the steps between the first and second floors of the Department. 2. The shots were fired from the middle of the glass extension of the central entrance of the Department of the Security Service of Ukraine in Khmelnytskyi region, outside. 3. The shots were fired from inside the glass extension of the central entrance of the Security Service of Ukraine in Khmelnytskyi region, to the outside; the weapon, at the time of the shots, was behind the back of the victim PERSON_131, at the level (or below) of the belt;

- expert opinion based on the results of the forensic examination of the video recording dated 12.08.2016 No. 10358/10359/16-35, from which it follows that... according to their general and individual acoustic parameters, the experimental shots fired in the extension of the USBU administrative building in Khmelnytskyi region correspond to the shots of the second stage (out of eight shots) recorded in the studied video recordings;

- protocols of investigative experiments with the participation of PERSON_22 [accused SBU Alfa officer] as a witness dated 09.03.2016, conducted by the previous pre-trial investigation body, from which it follows that from the place where PERSON_22 was on the 2nd floor, it was not possible to fire shots at the lower part of the door of the central entrance of the office covered by an anti-vandal roller shutter.

Under such circumstances, the court finds the information from the aforementioned investigative experiments and expert conclusions not refuted.

On the morning of February 19, 2014, Colonel PERSON_21 was informed by the head of the USBU in the Ternopil region, Colonel PERSON_141, about the movement to the city of Khmelnytskyi of a group of radical individuals numbering about 80 people, whose goal was to organize the seizure of the USBU building in the Khmelnytskyi region and gain access to the storage areas of weapons and ammunition.

This information was confirmed by the ZND department of the USBU, in addition, it was established that in the courtyards of residential buildings located near the administrative building of the Department, radical individuals who arrived from the western regions of Ukraine were preparing for future active actions, in particular, filling glass bottles with an incendiary mixture.

Taking into account the available information, the leadership of the USBU concluded that radically minded protesters were preparing to implement a planned scenario of seizing the building of the Department, as happened on February 18, 2014 in Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk, and Ternopil regions.

Under such circumstances, the defense's claim, with reference to the evidence presented, regarding the possibility of causing bodily harm to the victim on February 19, 2014, at 12:36 p.m., near the USBU in Khmelnytskyi region by third parties is not excluded, which in turn makes it impossible for the court to make a decision beyond reasonable doubt on the involvement and guilt of PERSON_22 in the charges brought.

Taking into account the above, the court comes to the firm conviction that the conclusions of the pre-trial investigation body on the guilt of PERSON_21 [Khmelnytsky SBU head] and PERSON_22 [SBU Alfa officer] in the presented accusation were based mainly on assumptions not confirmed properly by admissible, reliable and sufficient evidence. Not only the involvement of the accused in the commission of the criminal offenses with which they are incriminated, that is, the causal connection between the actions of the accused and the consequences in the form of causing bodily harm to the victim, but also the generally unlawful nature of the actions of the accused remained unproven."

Just declassified Ukrainian court verdict confirms findings of my "Maidan Massacre in Ukraine" open access book & other academic studies of false flag massacre of Maidan protesters with far-right involvement link.springer.com/book/10.1007/9…

"An investigation by the Military Prosecutor Office in Lviv found that an elderly female Maidan protester was killed and several other Maidan protesters were wounded in Khmelnytskyi on February 19, 2014, by another Maidan activist from the SBU porch that was then occupied by Maidan protesters. Forensic ballistic examinations showed such bullet trajectories. However, the GPU reversed this investigation as politically inappropriate and charged an SBU Alfa officer for shooting the protesters from the second floor inside of the SBU building. But the Security Service of Ukraine publicly stated that the GPU investigation was falsified. This is consistent with the content analysis showing that the protesters were shot from the SBU porch and not from the second floor (see Video, 2023)."
In spite of court verdict & investigations by SBU & military prosecutor in Ukraine confirming my study findings of false flag shooting of Maidan protesters, there was no investigation & prosecution of actual shooters. This is cover-up of far-right Maidan activists involved in deadly shooting.

Admission by former British prime minister Boris Johnson that "Ukrainian nationalists couldn't accept the compromise" and vetoed in 2019 peace that Zelensky promised during his elections refers to neo-Nazi Azov movement, whom Johnson called "heroes."

Wow! USAID-funded London-based Ukrainian OSINT agency still lists Elon Musk, JD Vance, Tucker Carlson & many other prominent Western politicians, journalists & scholars in its "register of Russian Federation terrorist regime foreign propagandists." molfar.com/en/enemies x.com/wyattreed13/st…Image

Overwhelming evidence presented in my studies shows that Yanukovych was ousted not by mass protests but by means of false-flag massacre by protesters & police, assassination attempts & falsified unconstitutional vote in parliament under duress & without required constitutional majority,
Such overwhelming evidence is presented in my 3 open access peer-reviewed journal articles & my open access book "The Maidan Massacre in Ukraine: The Mass Killing that Changed the World." They are freely available to read & download. link.springer.com/book/10.1007/9…
And in my open access article "The Maidan Massacre Trial and Investigation Revelations: Implications for the Ukraine-Russia War and Relations," This peer-reviewed journal article is also freely available. brill.com/view/journals/…

Wow! As I predicted, Trump envoy Steve Witkoff says that Spring 2022 Istanbul agreement, which was "very close to signing," can be "guidepost" of peace deal to end war in Ukraine. Istanbul peace deal included no NATO accession/neutrality & disarmament of Ukraine. Annexation of Donbas & Kherson & Zaporizhzia regions by Russia are also likely to be part of new peace deal. So many lives of Ukrainians could have been saved if US & UK did not block this peace deal in Spring 2022 & Zelensky signed it.
Nuland basically admitted that Ukraine-Russia peace deal, which was close to being finalized in spring 2022, “fell apart” because US, UK & other Western governments “advised” Zelensky government not to sign it.
Ex Israeli prime minister said that US and other Western leaders blocked Ukraine & Russia peace deal which he negotiated on Zelensky request in March 2022 because they wanted to continue to strike Putin. He said that there was good chance of such deal.
