Russia is pushing for negotiations. Secret conversation with US in the background
The Wall Street Journal, citing interviews with anonymous officials in the Biden administration, recently revealed that Sullivan would have “secret talks with top Kremlin officials.”
In recent days, Moscow’s main propagandists have also tried to pressure the opening of negotiations with Ukraine. Volodymyr Zeenski shows, however, that it demands the full return of the illegally annexed areas first.
On Wednesday, Russia announced that it would withdraw from Kherson. However, Ukraine calls for treating this report with caution. From October, in the occupied part of Kherson Oblast, Ukrainian troops advanced 36 kilometers into enemy defenses, regaining control of 41 cities.
