Argumenta ad hominem are not welcome here by me. The influence of Britain in all things Ukraine flows and subsides, and not always in a common mode vs American one under Democratic cabal. British intrusive meddling showed, though, a pretty strong upward trend even before the Russian invasion; see Zelensky's visit to Oman, his confidential meetings with Sir Richard Moore, Ochakov military base, or June 2021 provocative passage of HMS Defender off the coast of Crimea.

Please do your homework better next time. For now, let Alexander Chalyi of Ukraine speak about Istanbul drafts of peace agreement.

Ukraine can’t be expected to get any semblance of such good terms again. Not. At. All.
