Do you have anything to say about the video? anything to add?
Just taking 0:47 for instance - it was Dmitry Kozak who negotiated the deal with Ukraine, without the support of Putin, and when the deal was taken to Putin it was Putin who pushed it off the table, NOT as claimed Boris persuading Ukraine to drop the deal, though it wasn't a great deal for Ukraine either.
To be honest most of that video is insulting to the intelligence of anyone remotely capable of following events from a range of news sources and doing a bit of thinking for themselves - although I largely agree that America does not seem to be approaching this situation fully in good faith and doing more to keep the situation on the boil - other countries like the UK, Poland, some smaller states who've given up their own supplies of Soviet era munitions, etc. have done far more towards ends which might facilitate Ukraine bringing this situation to a decisive end.
