Rumours from Ukraine that there's some dodgy dealing going on.
Erdogan's spokesman has said that Russia "wants to sit at the table" with Ukraine but that "all parties including Europe and US must be involved and we are talking to them".
Macron has spoken with Zelensky and offered to mediate with Putin if Ukraine will make certain concessions on sovereignty. Zelensky told him %^&*-off "No thanks."
This follows intel that Putin has been sending "emissaries" on the q.t. to some EU countries.
Suspicion is that Putin is preparing the ground for a "Sorry chaps, all a misunderstanding. Let's call it quits eh?" and hoping that the West will pressure Ukraine into giving up the land already occupied by Russia.
