What was said

"They agreed for everything. And furthermore, which is very important, they said that Zelensky personally agreed to give away Donbas. And I was shocked at that moment. It was shocking news. And I said, really? Is he crazy? And the guy told, of course he is. He is okay with that because he will stop the horror of war."

A former Ukrainian government insider told Carlson's guest that Zelensky personally agreed to cede Donbas territory during 2022 Istanbul peace negotiations, contradicting his current public stance that 90% of Ukrainians would never forgive territorial concessions. The source claims the deal was nearly complete before Boris Johnson's intervention derailed talks.
