Every link of yours is a well-known spin. For example, Bennett has clarified that his words have been taken out of context and misrepresented, and Arahamiya has said that no-one on Ukrainian side belived that Russian peace plan was genuine and not a stalling tactic.

Perhaps it would be a good idea to switch to sites that don't have "conservative" in their URL.

"Clarified" -- yes he walked it back under intense pressure. His words were in a long podcast you can listen to.

That's the spin of those two observers. But there was a lot to more to the actual chain of events at the time.

And lo and behold, the fact of two guys stating a certain narrative about those events (then embellished up a bit by the publications quoting them) does not make it so. Even the article you're citing about Arahamiya's version of events isn't so clear-cut about the matter (it says Boris's advice was but one factor among many) as you're making it out to be.
