Am I missing something? Did President Zelensky give the Felon his proxy with carte blanche to negotiate on his behalf? Since when does the "readout from the Whitehouse" become trusted journalism.
"The Kremlin said" Well that's good enough I guess. Where does the article say "after speaking with, Ukrainian officials or even unamed source for Ukraine?"
So if Ukraine doesn't agree or they do fire on an energy structure or doesn't now begin negotiating maritime cease fires then Ukraine is at fault and becomes the bad guy?
Nice try Vlad and Whitehouse and Reuters for getting their narrative out.
