Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever (Flemish nationalist N-VA) says that the European Union must negotiate with Russian President Vladmimir Putin to bring the war in Ukraine to an end and normalise relations with the Russian Federation. The premier was speaking with the Francophone financial paper L'Echo. According to De Wever, Europe will not succeed in bringing Russia to its knees, neither militarily nor through economic sanctions. ‘What is the point of continuing the war if there is no clear victory in sight?’
Ah, the good old story about Boris Johnson intervening a peace deal that was more or less ready to be signed…
Sorry, that’s bullcrap. Has been in 2022, when that story was first floated through the various pro-Russian info vectors, and still is today. The main thing ending the negotiations was the emergence of the Bucha massacre. Also, Russia was at no point ready to withdraw from Ukraine, a condition that Zelenskyy has made clear again and again for years as a baseline for Ukrainian approval of a deal.
