NEW YORK, April 12. /TASS/. The US military prepare a draft peace treaty for the Ukrainian conflict, US investigative journalist Seymour Hersh said in his article, published on the Substack platform Wednesday.

"I was told that two months ago the Joint Chiefs had ordered members of the staff — the military phrase is ‘tasked’ - to draft an end-of-war treaty to present to the Russians after their defeat on the Ukraine battlefield," he said.

Hersh provided no proof for his words.

US investigative journalist and Pulitzer Prize winner Seymour Hersh said in his article published on February 8, explosives were planted under the Russian Nord Stream 1 and 2 gas pipelines by US Navy divers with assistance from Norwegian specialists under the guise of the BALTOPS 22 exercise last June. The story cited an unidentified source as saying that US President Joe Biden personally authorized the operation after nine months of discussions with administration officials in charge of security matters.
