"Vladimir Putin is testing the waters on whether the U.S. is ready to engage in talks for ending Russia’s war in Ukraine,” Bloomberg reports.
“He’s put out feelers to the U.S. via indirect channels to signal he’s open to discussion, including potentially on future security arrangements for Ukraine, according to two people close to the Kremlin.”
“Hints of Russian openness to talks — even if disingenuous — could help sow division among Ukraine’s allies, isolating Kyiv and undermining President Volodymyr Zelenskiy’s efforts to win support for his own peace formula, which calls for full Russian withdrawal.”
including potentially on future security arrangements for Ukraine
Ukraine already signed a security, non-aggression arrangement with Russia back when they annexed Crimea. Russia violated that one, so why would Ukraine expect Russia to not violate this one?
That’s not even the big one, when Ukraine gave up its nuclear weapons, Russia and America both said they would defend them.
Between Ukraine and Libya, who the fuck is ever gonna give up their nukes anymore?
“Sure, we haven’t kept any of the 1,000 previous promises, but this time is different. Trust me, bro.”
Like an abusive manipulative ex.
Like Lucy with the football 🏈
exactly, any negotiations will not be in good faith at all and will be ignored in the future because are no consequences for breaking them
Ignore the feelers. Keep supplying Ukraine. When the feelers become active begging, consider talking.
Go fuck yourself, Vlad.
whether the U.S. is ready to engage in talks for ending Russia’s war in Ukraine
I wasn’t aware that the USA is the authority in what wars do and don’t happen on the planet Earth.
I was under the impression that was down to the nations actually at war, but I guess no, it’s not actually up to Zelensky and Putin, they don’t get a say in it, it’s all up to Biden?
