🇺🇸🇩🇪USA and Germany want to force Zelensky to negotiate with Russia, BILD writes
As military observer Julian Röpke reports with reference to BILD information from German government circles, the current goal of Ukraine's Western allies is to put it in a "strategically favorable negotiating position". From this position, the country will have to negotiate with Putin's regime about its "sovereignty and territorial integrity.
"The White House and the office are coordinating this issue," government officials told BILD.
At the same time, Röpke writes, U.S. and German leaders do not intend to directly persuade Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to negotiate. Instead, both countries, as the largest arms suppliers to Ukraine, have decided to take a different approach. As the expert writes, Germany and the United States plan to supply Kyiv with exactly the weapons and quantities that will allow the Ukrainian army to hold the current front, but not to repel the Russian-occupied territories.
"Zelensky himself must realize that things cannot go on like this. Without any outside prompting. He must go to his people of his own free will and explain that negotiations are necessary," a German government insider told BILD.
