Michael Flynn, former US National Security Adviser, has accused the CIA and European NATO intelligence services of coordinating efforts to undermine peace negotiations in Ukraine and push the United States toward escalation with Russia. He contends that the EU and NATO members are promoting conflict while the US should pursue diplomatic solutions. Flynn criticizes US financial support for Ukraine, characterizing President Zelensky as authoritarian.

His statements coincide with backchannel negotiations in Miami involving Russian and Trump administration representatives. Russian officials have endorsed Flynn's perspective, viewing it as opposition to what they term the Western 'war lobby.' These comments reflect broader skepticism about continued US involvement in the Ukraine conflict.
