Things are going on in back channels between the U.S. and Russia that might actually be moving the parties closer to peace negotiations. From Ted Snider at libertarianinstitute.org:
On July 6, it was revealed that secret back-channel talks have been held between former U.S. officials and “prominent Russians believed to be close to the Kremlin.” The U.S. officials do not represent the Joe Biden administration but have briefed the White House. Though no current U.S. officials have participated in the talks, on the Russian side, they have reached the lofty level of Foreign Affairs Minister Sergey Lavrov.
Now, “a former U.S. official directly involved in the talks” has revealed that those talks are ongoing and frequent. The official, who says he has “been visiting Moscow at least every three months,” says the meetings “have been taking place at least twice a month.”
The White House says, “The United States has not requested official or former officials to open a back channel, and is not seeking such a channel.” The Moscow Times report replaces the original NBC description of “prominent Russians believed to be close to the Kremlin” with “high-ranking members of the Kremlin.”
Several things have been said in these unofficial meetings and in other closed door places recently that are surprisingly different from what is being said openly in the public.
Comrade Vindman will be heartbroken.
Russophobe Brzezinski passed the torch to the Nuland and Kagan clan.
Zibigniew once said that without Ukraine Russia would cease to exist.
Maybe one day we could have some Americans in charge of foreign policy?
