‘Reason to abandon Ukraine’ – Former CIA employee explained why western media released the story about Kremlin’s readiness for peace talks

The article in The New York Times alleging that Russia is supposedly engaged in secret talks to end the conflict in Ukraine is nothing more than an attempt by the West to ‘change the course of events and give the West a reason to leave Ukraine.

This opinion was expressed in an article by former CIA employee Larry Johnson, presenting evidence to support his position.

On his website, A Son of the New American Revolution, the analyst writes: it is well known that journalists of such important American publications as The New York Times do what they are told ‘from above,’ following government directives. Moreover, the article itself is full of indications that the ‘sources spreading this story are engaged in an information warfare campaign.’

Secondly, the ‘sources of this nonsense’ claimed that Putin is ready to make concessions to Ukraine to end the conflict. As the analyst notes, Putin has not once mentioned such a thing. Furthermore, he has no reason whatsoever to even consider concessions. Russia holds absolute military superiority, and today, many key Ukrainian officials admit that the chances of defeating Russia are close to zero.

The only conclusion that can be drawn from the NYT article is that all of this is ‘pure Western propaganda,’ Johnson is confident. And its main goal is to provide the US with enough grounds to abandon Ukraine, especially now when its defeat becomes more than apparent.”
