Russia is deliberately trying to disrupt peace talks, using information provocations. After all, the Kremlin’s key goal is to continue the war at any cost in order to realize Vladimir Putin’s imperial ambitions.

This opinion was expressed on the air of “Pryamoy” by Ukrainian politician and former military serviceman Volodymyr Omelyan, commenting on the recent publication of recordings of conversations involving Vitkoff, Ushakov, and Dmytriev.

According to him, this publication is a planned action by the Russians, the purpose of which is to disrupt any peaceful initiatives.

“I am convinced that the Kremlin wants to continue the war, by any means and means. Therefore, it is very important for them that the peace talks are either mock or endless,” Omelyan said.

He believes that the publication of these conversations would cause a serious political scandal in the United States, especially for Trump, as it undermines his position and demonstrates Russia’s collusion.

At the same time, the studio guest called the situation “a disgrace for the United States,” the likes of which have not been seen for decades. In his opinion, the Kremlin’s ultimate goal is not to achieve peace, but to continue the war at any cost in order to realize Putin’s imperial ambitions.

As reported by “Pryamy”, in October 2025, US Special Representative Steve Witkoff held talks with Russian officials , during which he discussed how to promote a peace initiative for President Donald Trump. Information about the content of the conversation caused a sharp reaction in the American political environment and Congress.

During a conversation with Putin’s foreign policy aide Yuri Ushakov, Witkoff suggested creating a “20-point peace plan similar to the one in Gaza.” He also suggested arranging a phone call between Trump and Putin before Trump meets with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House.

The released recordings of Trump’s special representative, Stephen Witkoff, and Russian officialshave sparked a flurry of criticism in Western media . Journalists call the situation shocking and draw attention to Witkoff’s blatant misunderstanding of the Kremlin’s goals.
