Re: [Salon] Bennett says: "the West blocked [the Russia-Ukraine peace agreement] and I thought they're wrong".



Thanks. Did he in fact talk about “17 drafts” of an agreement as has been reported?

Here is what Bennett said 
 “In the meeting Putin gave me two major concessions. He conceded on demilitarization and came down from de-Nazification. That is from from assassinating Zelensky. That is the most precious thing, the life of tree leader.” “Zelensky made a big concession on joining NATO. Those were huge steps from both sides. Every move I made was coordinated with the US and also with Germany and France. It’s true that they backed down from this and at that time i thought they made a mistake. In retrospect, it’s soon to know”

He claims that his mediation secured 2 concessions from Putin - dropping denazification & demilitarization of Ukraine - and 1 from Zelensky (NATO membership) to secure a ceasefire. But West blocked it, he says.

Any sign of a verbatim translation? This is huge.

Truly stunning revelation: the two belligerent parties had negotiated peace but the West blocked it.
"At least 17 drafts of the agreement between Russia and Ukraine were prepared by the parties before the West interrupted their negotiations" — former Israeli PM Naftali Bennett
