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, according to people familiar with the discussions.

The request by American officials is not aimed at pushing Ukraine to the negotiating table, these people said. Rather, they called it a calculated attempt to ensure the government in Kiev maintains the support of other nations facing constituencies wary of fueling a war for many years to come.

Strange given its the US/UK that have essentially told ZelenskyyIdiot not to negotiate having already sabotaged a couple ‘peace’ deals already...../s

[Kaiser8408a]

Just in time for the midterms.

[Josa]

It’s ALL theater

[Don Corleone]

Cut off the cash. They will negotiate faster than a streetwalker.

[bert]

There is nothing to negotiate.

[dforest]

This war drain in Ukraine is not going to be popular for the 2024 election cycle.

The possible midterm disaster may put an end to this. Time to wrap it up.

[dforest]

Oh there will be when the money machine grinds to a halt.

[cranked]

Sure there is, it’s called lives.

[JonPreston]

There is nothing to negotiate.

Hush Neocon.

“...calculated attempt to ensure the government in Kiev maintains the support of other nations facing constituencies wary of fueling a war for many years to come.”

In a Democracy, leaders are supposed to make a compelling case for why the public should support their policies.

Here we see the Biden puppeteers recruiting Ukraine to join them, not in making the case, but in tricking the American and Allied publics with lies. The phrase “rotten to the core” comes to mind.

Yep

Calling Bee Ess on this

The last Ukrainian hasn’t killed enough Russians yet, on behalf of the Pentagon

[Blood of Tyrants]

Yep. As long as we give are giving them a steady supply of cash and weapons, why should they negotiate?

Huge applause for a zinger!

Keeping voluntary coalitions of sovereign states together can be messy and hard work.

Not something Russia would understand.

[Sacajaweau]

And you know that how??

[aMorePerfectUnion]

There is.

Russia will negotiate how much remaining ukraine territory ukraine will be allowed keep going forward.

And ukraine will renounce the globohomo control of their nation going forward, eliminate their biolabs, and resume their bridal export industry.

This will hopefully leave ukraine with one sea port and less outside control.

[Jolla]

Cut off the cash.

Exactly. They would be reaching for a pen pretty quickly then packing their bags for the Caribbeans where their money is stashed.

[Renfrew]

Here is what negotiations will look like:

Ukraine: Our first demand is that Putin is hung from the highest lamp post in Moscow.

Putin: No deal. I will send another 100K Russian conscripts to be slaughtered on the front on my behalf.
