The country blocking peace is 100% Russia and ONLY Russia. Russia go home is absolutely the quickest and most sensible route to peace.
Russians are the Nazis and Putin is as bad as Hitler.

This account was created on April 19 and has only Russian propaganda.
That looks like a Russian account to spread there lies!
What evidence? I see zero reference to any evidence other than the word in the title. Nonsense. Reading the NYT article (which should have been the actual article not this blog post BS) the closest you get to anything Western related for breaking the negotiations is their advice that the initial tentative agreements 'were tantamount to capitulation'. Negotiations proceeded long after that point and 2 key issues with them are attributed to their breakdown:
Putin's micromanaging of his negotiation team led the Ukranian side to doubt the negotiations were anything but a stall tactic, and
A deal-breaking Russian amendment to Ukraine's Article 5-esque 'guarantors will come to the aid of Ukraine if they are attacked again in the future' which essentially gave Russia a veto.
;tldr the only evidence provided by this blog post BS is for Russia not negotiating in good faith, and definitively being the one that spoiled the talks with a garbage ally defence veto amendment which strongly indicated they had every intention of doing all this again anyways no matter what the agreement said (their SOP.

Yes, when the Ukrainians realized:
Any form of peace on the aggressors terms will not last very long at all. It's merely a way for them to rebuild their military until such point they can resume their offensive.
Since the collapse of peace talks between Ukraine and Russia in April-May 2022
This was just 2 to 3 months after Bucha massacre and this rag has the gal to call what Russia has ever offered as "peace". Total bullshit.
