Congressmen urged Biden to combine the unprecedented economic and military support provided to the US by Ukraine with a “proactive diplomatic push, redoubling efforts to find realistic terms for a ceasefire.”
Furthermore, members of the US president’s party express concern that Washington is not conducting a regular dialogue with the Russian Federation to end the long war and recall its global consequences: rising prices in the United States and danger of a Russian nuclear attack.
White House strategic communications coordinator John Kirby replied that without Ukraine’s participation this would be impossible.
“Of course, we appreciate the views expressed by these members of Congress. We know this letter. We appreciate their concern about what is happening in Ukraine,” Kirby said.
He recalled that without the participation of the Ukrainian side, the United States would not have negotiated with Russia.
Recall that the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky said earlier Ukraine is ready to negotiate with the Russian Federation, but only under the rule of a new president. You made such a statement after Putin signed a “document” on the annexation of the Ukrainian regions.
