The American administration claims that there is no need for negotiations in Ukraine, since Russia is able to stop the war itself.
speaking at a regular briefing for journalists, the coordinator of strategic communications in the National Security Council (SNB) of the White House John Kirby expressed the opinion that so far the leadership of Russia does not demonstrate readiness for negotiations in Ukraine.
“to be completely frank, the war should not end through negotiations. Yes, most likely, this way will go when the president (Ukraine Vladimir) Zelensky will be ready for this. However, he (Russian President Vladimir Putin – ed. ) It can be completed now simply by withdrawing his troops, ”says the SNB officer.
He was asked to clarify whether the United States is doing at least some efforts to study the possibility of organizing peace negotiations in Ukraine.
“We are working with Mr. Zelensky on his offer of 10 points. I think you are all familiar with him. He asked if the United States can provide part of his team to help his team and, so to speak, figure out how best to realize This proposal is to life. This work continues, ”Kirby answered, without going into details.
