“the secret talks are intended to find a way to provide Russia with a “face-saving exit” from the crisis”
I’m nearly certain Russia doesn’t need that.
But Ukraine and NATO are desperate for just that.
European countries are on the brink of devastation and political upheaval.
To say nothing of the changes pending this fall in the US.
Russia should sit tight and not answer the phone.
All the Russians need to do is offer Hunter $1 billion and unlimited prostitutesand blow. Then Russia can have as much of the Ukraine as they want. And Joe and Jill get a cool $100 million.

Yep, just like we did with the Vietnamese, and most recently the Taliban in Afghanistan.
Mighty nice of us to let them save face the way we did...
You give the Russians to much credit. They have their problems just like the EU and the West have theirs. With any luck both sides will stumble into a ceasefire. But unfortunately a end to the conflict is a ways off.
Uke cedes Donbas area and Zelinsky resigns to live the quiet life of a billionaire in Switzerland?
Forgot to add, Joe Biden takes the credit for ending the war.

LOL. The GDP of the EU and Great Britain is $20 trillion dollars. They can squash Russia ($1 trillion GDP) like a bug and find other gas stations if they wish.
Bingo.
