The US State Department said that the Bild publication three days ago, which mentioned that the US and Germany were pressuring Zelensky to force him to negotiate with Moscow, was false. TASS reports this.
“The article in Bild was interesting. But no. America does not have a policy… We have always said that Ukraine should decide this. “We can’t decide anything about Ukraine without Ukraine,” U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs James O’Brien said during a special phone briefing for reporters about U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s trip to Europe this week.
He stated that there was no point in demanding that Kiev begin negotiations with Russia unless signs emerged that Moscow was ready to discuss the issue of peace.
An article appeared in Bild on November 24: statedHe said U.S. and German officials intend to persuade Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky to negotiate with Russia by providing only the weapons necessary to hold the front.
Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin during the G20 summit statedThat Russia has never rejected peace talks with Ukraine.
