Summary
Newly released treaty negotiation documents show that Ukraine and Russia were very close to ending the war—more than two years ago, in April 2022. But U.S. imperialists and NATO have worked with and strengthened the right-wing in Ukraine to achieve their long-term goals in the region, including endless war, no matter how many people die.
Brian Becker is joined by Eugene Puryear, co-host of The Freedom Side, to discuss the newly revealed documents showing how the Ukraine war nearly ended two years ago but were sabotaged by the intervention of the White House and the Ukrainian far-right. They discuss how Ukraine’s economy has been totally mortgaged to U.S. and European interests.

| 0:20.4 | We need a new system. We need a new system. |

| 1:30.8 | We were assessing the war every day. |
| 1:34.1 | While we were doing that, and something we perhaps did not yet know about, was that |
| 1:38.8 | Russia, the Russian government and the Ukrainian government were negotiating. Very intense, complicated, complex |
| 1:46.3 | negotiations, and they were almost ready to sign a deal that would have ended this horrible |
| 1:51.8 | war. Here we are two years later. Hundreds of thousands of people are dead or wounded. |
| 1:58.1 | The U.S. is pumping billions of dollars of weapons into Ukraine. And we only learn now |
