U.S. privately asks Ukraine to show Russia it's open to talks -Washington Post
Reuters.

WASHINGTON, Nov 5 (Reuters) - The Biden administration is privately encouraging Ukraine’s leaders to signal an openness to negotiate with Russia and drop their public refusal to engage in peace talks unless President Vladimir Putin is removed from power, the Washington Post reported on Saturday.


The paper quoted unnamed people familiar with the discussions as saying that the request by American officials was not aimed at pushing Ukraine to the negotiating table, but a calculated attempt to ensure Kyiv maintains the support of other nations facing constituencies wary of fueling a war for many years to come.


It said the discussions illustrated the complexity of the Biden administration’s position on Ukraine, as U.S. officials publicly vow to support Kyiv with massive sums of aid "for as long as it takes" while hoping for a resolution to the eight-month conflict that has taken a big toll on the world economy and triggered fears of nuclear war.


The paper said U.S. officials shared the assessment of their Ukrainian counterparts that Putin is not for now serious about negotiations, but acknowledged that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy's ban on talks with him had generated concern in parts of Europe, Africa and Latin America, where the war's effects on costs of food and fuel are felt most sharply.


"Ukraine fatigue is a real thing for some of our partners," the Post quoted one unnamed U.S. official as saying.


The White House National Security Council had no immediate comment when asked if the report was accurate, while a spokesperson for the State Department responded by saying:


"We've said it before and will say it again: Actions speak louder than words. If Russia is ready for negotiation, it should stop its bombs and missiles and withdraw its forces from Ukraine.


"The Kremlin continues to escalate this war. The Kremlin has demonstrated its unwillingness to seriously engage in negotiations since even before it launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine."


The spokesperson also noted remarks by Zelenskiy on Friday, in which he said: "We are ready for peace, for a fair and just peace, the formula of which we have voiced many times."


In his nightly address to the Ukrainian people on Friday, Zelenskiy added: "The world knows our position. This is respect for the UN Charter, respect for our territorial integrity, respect for our people."


U.S. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said during a visit to Kyiv on Friday that Washington's support for Ukraine would remain "unwavering and unflinching" following next Tuesday's midterm congressional elections.

Are they already tired. Netherlands recently asked for 91 waivers against Russia sanctions, France is complaining of US double standards, the US republicans have vowed not to support any more bailout for Ukraine, senior democrats are becoming uncomfortable with the war.

The biggest loser here is Zelensky and Ukraine.

DJ pls give me that wike song "as e dey pain Dem"

Low key putin na badt guy, giving US backed NATO bloody nose in Ukraine

I thought Russia had Soviet Union technology, outdated weapons etc, the US finicky got their hands dirty in this one

You go about invading countries that are relatively at peace, you cause war there and still provide the weapons for them, Haba

Russia says they don’t want you around their younger brother, same way you wouldn’t want Russia in Cuba or Mexico, then you feel you have the right to instigate war between the two brothers


All your sanctions no work, instead it boomerang, you have provided weapons and ammunition in tunes of $billions to Ukraine already the past 6 months, I read last month that the US is out of stock already, they no longer have enough to send zelensky, the clown


Make the US first remove the useless sanctions first and then push for negotiations publicly, if not we move
