Witi-Leaks: How Trump's Advice to Russia Threatens the Peace Plan for Ukraine.

According to ТСН: The leaked transcripts of Steve Witkoff's phone conversations, Donald Trump's representative at peace negotiations, have become known as 'Witi-Leaks'. This incident, which exposed Witkoff for providing Russia with advice on Trump's manipulation, may indicate internal conflicts among American officials, intrigues in the Kremlin, and sabotage from Kyiv and its allies dissatisfied with the terms of the peace plan.

United States: Shadow War in the State Department

In the US, the leak of conversations caused a 'shadow war' between the State Department and the White House. The main suspects were representatives of Secretary of State Marco Rubio, a well-known Kremlin critic, who is alleged to have been sidelined from the negotiations regarding Ukraine when Witkoff resumed his activities.

Sources report that the State Department was not involved during the initial discussions of the 28-point plan, which Rubio reportedly referred to as the 'Russian wishlist'. Although there is no direct evidence linking Rubio to the leak, many of his staff had access to information and were advocating for a more equitable peace for Ukraine.

Russia: Factional Discrepancies

While the 28-point peace plan brings significant benefits to Moscow, it contains an unacceptable condition for Russian 'hawks' – providing Ukraine with reliable security guarantees similar to NATO Article 5, which obliges the US and the EU to intervene militarily in the event of new aggression.

The Kremlin is experiencing deep discrepancies between those who want to continue the war until Kyiv's capitulation and those who believe it is necessary to suspend hostilities to discuss Trump's 'business proposals'. Experts believe the leak may be connected to Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, who has been reportedly unhappy with Kirill Dmitriev, a key participant in the negotiations whose conversation was also leaked.

'This was an explosive insight into Donald Trump's peace negotiations, which could derail the plan to end the war in Ukraine.'

Ukraine and Europe: Unacceptable Capitulation

The plan presented to Ukraine involves a refusal of Donbas, including territories that are not yet occupied. Both the White House and the Kremlin consider this an 'acceptable price' for achieving a peace agreement. However, for Ukrainians, it looks like capitulation.

Kyiv was effectively forced to agree to negotiations after the content of the 28-point plan, confirmed during consultations with Moscow, became known. The initial draft mentioned reducing the Armed Forces of Ukraine by half and renouncing NATO membership. Ukrainian officials managed to achieve some softening of the demands in the 19-point version, but may have initiated the leak of the conversation to discredit the negotiation process and avoid unacceptable concessions.

The chief international observer noted that Witkoff was referred to as a 'useful idiot' whom Russia used to manipulate Trump and influence the White House's position on the war in Ukraine. The leak of Witkoff's phone conversation with a Kremlin dictator's aide, Yuri Ushakov, indicates that he provided instructions on Putin's behavior so that he could effectively promote Kremlin interests in the negotiation process.

This incident highlights the tension and complexity of the situation between the US, Russia, and Ukraine. The leak of the conversation not only opened new facets of diplomatic games but also exacerbated existing contradictions within the United States itself. The further development of events will depend on whether the countries can find common ground and achieve stability in the region.
