If the US government has its way, it is unlikely that the terrible bloodshed in Ukraine will end anytime soon. Kremlin ruler Vladimir Putin, among others, still has a longer war in mind.
“We see no indication that Russia is willing to engage in substantive, real peace negotiations,” a US State Department official said on Monday. It appears that Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin is talking about “waiting at least another year or more before considering ending this war.”
Don’t allow a ‘surrender monologue’.
Therefore, it would be “pointless” for Ukraine to hold such talks with Russia, the US government official continued. There would then be no dialogue, but a ‘capitulation monologue’. The government is still not making decisions over Ukraine’s head.
Previously, there were reports that the US government had begun secretly talking to Ukraine about possible peace negotiations with Russia, among other things. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in early November that he would not be pressured to start negotiations with Russia to end the war.
