Only a month after Russia was forced by innumerable actions by [[the West]] to achieve the aims of protecting the Russian-speaking people of the Donbass region and the Russian Federation itself from a malevolent Ukrainian regime becoming a NATO state on its border, Russia initiated peace negotiations. These bore fruit in March 2022 when significant progress was announced from Istanbul where the talks between the two sides were being held. Russia removed its troops from around the capital Kiev, sent there with the goal, not of conquest, but of bringing the [[Kiev regime]] to its senses and to negotiate a peaceful outcome. This avenue toward a peaceful resolution of all areas of concern was swiftly blocked via a visit to Kiev by then British prime minister Boris Johnson. This one act condemned upwards of half a million Ukrainians to their deaths and the potential destruction of Ukraine as a viable state.<ref>[https://aearnur.substack.com/p/in-ukraine-the-western-powers-have IN UKRAINE THE WESTERN POWERS HAVE CREATED A POISONOUS WEB OF LIES], AEARNUR, NOV 11, 2023. aearnur.substack.com</ref>

The sudden failure of the Istanbul agreement led to the immediate influx of mass amounts of the latest U.S. gear such as [[HIMAR]]s. Zelensky was secretly promised unlimited funding and military support as bait. Stuck between the path of peace or the chance to go down in history as the one man who could do what [[Genghis Khan]], [[Napoleon]], and [[Hitler]] could not do. Zelensky chose to put his faith in NATO’s invincibility.  Ukrainian journalist Diana Panchenko confirmed what happened:
