The German newspaper BILD writes that there is a "secret German-American plan for Ukraine" according to which the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky would not be forced to negotiate directly, but they would continue to deliberately supply him with enough weapons, in type and quantity, to be able to keep de facto front line, but never enough to be able to retake the occupied territories.
BILD notes a particularly cynical aspect of this alleged plan: that the US and Germany could largely decide and enforce this course of action themselves, given that they are the two largest suppliers of materials to Ukraine by volume.
BILD further says that the goal would be to direct the war, through the political tool of Western arms supply, into a de facto situation where negotiations would have to continue in the so-called With the "Minas negotiations", but that was never said directly, because Ukraine itself would be the one who would choose that outcome, because it would not be in a position to achieve something better.
BILD states that it has a source within the German government and that such a way of thinking comes from the office of Chancellor Olaf Scholz, not from the Ministry of Defense, and that Defense Minister Boris Pistorius would like to help Ukraine more, if he had the authority to do so.
BILD also suggests that Berlin and Washington have the same view and the same goal regarding the trajectory of the war.
