Putin ‘pulling out all the stops' to avoid peace negotiation with Ukraine
Former US Army vice chief of staff General Jack Keane says US President Donald Trump should have 'taken action' on Ukraine sooner when it was obvious Russian President Vladimir Putin was not interested in a peace agreement. '(Putin) is pulling out all the stops here not to go to any negotiated settlement, unless major concessions were being made to him that would make Ukraine vulnerable,' Gen Keane told Sky News host Andrew Bolt. 'If the Europeans continue to support (Ukraine), which I think they would very steadfastly, it would protract a war for a number of years.'
