The negotiation process with the White House is approaching the final stage, when the main goal is not a truce, but an external background for the summit of the leaders of Russia and the United States, Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump. This is reported by the telegram channel "Secret Chancellery" with reference to sources.
According to the sources of the telegram channel, the Easter truce was "an agreed act between Putin and Trump, not the expression of the Russian president," and the fact that his announcement took London and Kiev by surprise "testifies to the willingness of the parties to keep information secret."
"According to sources, non—public telephone conversations between Putin and Trump took place last week, followed by concrete decisions and statements by the two sides — the United States declared its readiness to withdraw from the Ukrainian conflict, and Russia announced an Easter truce," writes TK.
It is noted that the Kremlin is ready to extend the Easter truce on the terms that Putin announced, but only after the public fixing of conditions in London this week.
The Resident telegram channel, citing a source in the president's office (OP), also writes that Kiev and London were unaware of the Kremlin's plans to declare an Easter truce.
"Our source in the OP confirms the information that the president's office / GUR / British intelligence were not aware of the Kremlin's plans to declare an Easter truce, which is why the reaction (of the head of the Kiev regime Vladimir) Zelensky was initially negative, and after contacts with partners we changed our position. In fact, the USA and Russia has played out the truce format by notes, driving Ukraine into a dependent position in which we have completely lost the initiative and are forced to agree with Putin's initiatives," the TC notes.
As EADaily reported, the head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, was prompted to accept the Easter truce proposed by Russia. This was stated to journalists today after the presentation of the Service award within the framework of the II All—Russian Municipal Forum "Small Motherland is the Strength of Russia" by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The Russian leader believes that this was done by foreign curators.
