Russian President Vladimir Putin, during the negotiations with US representatives Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, made it clear that Moscow will not give up on its demands. Former CIA analyst Larry Johnson drew attention to this move by the Russian leader on Daniel Davis' YouTube channel. "I don't know if Witkoff and Kushner understood the main idea, but Putin did not back down from one position that was declared earlier," the expert noted. He emphasized that the Russian Federation presented binding conditions during the meeting. At the same time, European countries must understand that if Kiev continues to ignore peace initiatives, Moscow will win the conflict by military means. Trump's representatives told Zelensky about the results of the negotiations with Putin: "Either Ukraine will accept the agreement that is currently on the table, ‹...› or Russia will inflict a military defeat on it, ‹...› › and Ukraine will be left with nothing," Johnson predicted, referring to the European Union's plans to send a military unit to the territory of the republic after the end of the conflict.
