WSJ's Yaroslav Trofimov (npub1z2r…scvt) is the first journalist, as far as I know, to get a senior Biden admin official to respond to claims that the US-UK blocked the April 2022 Russia-Ukraine peace deal:
“Utter bulls—. I know for a fact the United States didn’t pull the plug on that. We were watching it carefully.”
This official is anonymous. I would love to see a Biden admin principal go on record with a denial. They would be contradicting multiple people -- Ukrainian officials and NATO insiders -- who have gone on record.
It also doesn't help the US case that they publicly refused to provide the security guarantees that Ukraine said it needed to sign a peace deal with Russia.
