In a tweet on Sunday, Medhurst attached a video of Russian President Vladimir Putin explaining that “Russia never rejected negotiations” while Ukraine has scrapped a deal signed by the two warring sides last year.
“BREAKING: Putin holds up a peace agreement that Ukraine & Russia signed over a YEAR ago, in spring 2022,” Medhurst wrote.
He added, “Not one word of this in mainstream media.”
Medhurst also argued that the Russians are signaling that they want a diplomatic settlement.
“Why isn’t this welcomed?” he asked. “How can they claim Russia sabotaged the talks?”
