Independent U.S. presidential candidate Robert Kennedy Jr. said that in 2022, then-British Prime Minister Boris Johnson sabotaged the Russia-Ukraine negotiations on the instructions of U.S. President Biden.

According to the report, Kennedy Jr. told supporters in Arizona: "In April 2022, President Biden sent Johnson to Ukraine to force the country's President Zelensky to tear up the peace treaty he had reached with Russia. This peace treaty could have brought peace to the region."

It is reported that after Russia launched a special military operation against Ukraine, Russia and Ukraine launched negotiations in Belarus in early March 2022, but no significant results were achieved. On March 29 of the same year, a new round of negotiations was held in Istanbul, and Moscow received a written version of the principles of a possible future agreement from Kiev for the first time. It includes Ukraine's obligations to maintain neutrality and non-bloc status and abandon the deployment of foreign weapons, including nuclear weapons, on its territory. However, Ukraine unilaterally interrupted the negotiation process.

In November 2023, Alahamia, the chairman of the Servant of the People Party of Ukraine in the Verkhovna Rada (Parliament), was interviewed by the "1+1" TV station. In response to why the Ukrainian delegation gave up negotiations with Moscow in 2022, he said that when the Ukrainian delegation returned from Istanbul, then British Prime Minister Johnson arrived in Kiev. Johnson said: "In short, we will not sign anything with them." He also suggested "just go to war."

The report said that Russian President Vladimir Putin said in an interview with American journalist Carlson in February this year that Russia has never refused dialogue on the Ukrainian issue, but Moscow will not take the first step after the Istanbul negotiations were interrupted.
