March 15, 2025 (EIRNS)—The U.K. has led the charge in trying to derail U.S. President Donald Trump’s peace offensive in Ukraine. Recently, the game has been to pretend that Russia has to accede to only what Kiev will agree to, and that there is no room for Trump and Putin to work out how a temporary ceasefire would lead to a diplomatic solution.
As part of that, British news network Sky News claimed yesterday that Trump’s envoy Steve Witkoff was “left twiddling his thumbs for at least eight hours before being called into the Kremlin.” Various Western media repeated Sky News’ claim as proven fact.
