Former adviser to the head of the Pentagon, Colonel Douglas McGregor said that the United States delivered an ultimatum to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on further actions against Russia. He expressed this opinion on his YouTube channel.

McGregor said Zelensky was given a choice: either launch a counteroffensive soon or start negotiations with Moscow. According to the Colonel, this leak “came from the White House.”“A few weeks ago he was literally told: go to the counterattack or agree to negotiate terms of surrender,” McGregor said. At the same time, the continuation of hostilities will worsen the situation for Kyiv and NATO due to “Russian dominance in this region,” the officer believes. Earlier, American economist Jeffrey Sachs suggested that Ukraine is the main loser in the conflict with Russia. “Therefore, the Kiev regime should be the first to seek a negotiated peace agreement,” Sachs said.
