US military leaders have had no communication with the Russian Military in Moscow since the beginning of Russia’s offensive in Ukraine, US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin again claimed at a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing on Thursday.

While the Pentagon chief said he was “disappointed” by the apparent situation, he added, “It doesn’t mean we’ll stop reaching out to engage them. I think we have to have the ability to talk to the leadership.”

“[General Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff] and I myself have frequently reached out to our counterparts in Russia to try to ensure that we maintain a dialogue. That’s in the last – since mid-February,” Austin told the senators.

“That’s not been very successful because the Russians have not responded,” he added.

Austin had been summoned to the Senate to answer questions about his department’s requested 2023 budget, the largest in US history.

At a March 30 press briefing, Pentagon spokesman John Kirby admitted there had been “no conversations to speak of” with the Russian military, but professed a “willingness to have those discussions,” after a reporter asked whether Washington had been “in touch” with Russia’s military leadership.

It already too late to try to communicate with the Russian forces.

They already acting on orders.

Y'all push Ukraine to thier doom .

After sanctioning the hell-out of there country, you are now calling them to do what exactly? I Hope is not to plan a coup,.........

They want to beg russia to release the general they failed to evacuate in Mariupol. Most of the fighters on Ukrainian side are foreigners who have fought many wars, still Russia is dealing with them mercilessly and have captured a lot of NATO fighters.

The West is a beautiful place to live, but these days the woke culture is messing the west up, you don't even have control over your life and can't even tell your kids what is right and not right again.

You are suffering from melancholy and general disability of the mind.

Only student of history can tell you how Putin is, right from age 8 he has that passion to be a soldier,
secondly United States should have acted fast before Putin started to strike because history also has it that those officers who trained Putin reported that Putin is very difficult to handle, the only way to tame him is to quickly act before he makes moves, because when he makes a move he hardly stops.
Look at his lifestyle he is the only leader in the world who still performs his military drills till date
