former officials there is no such thing as.
politicians stay let the russian people deal whit Putin
Two groups of former officials who should never do foreign policy, "Republicans," and "Democrats." Any officials that botched the western response to Russia's take over of Crimea, had no response to Russia's use of chemical weapons in Syria, and had anything to do with the US disastrous exit from Afghanistan, should not be allowed anywhere near the Ukraine war.
George bush
The west hasn't enough of Amo and also facing inflation to their economy and thus far what good has supplying weapons have done just more pain and deaths its sad to see families apart peace and dialogue is the way forward if not ww3
Only Ukraine can "negotiate" and they won't. negotiate WHAT with mass murderers ? Biden needs to keep out of that part…
Russia is open for peace talks and that is why we censor the USA people and the west from Putin. We started this war in Ukraine. Blackrock the WEF and others.
Can you imagine Trump keeping his egotistical mouth shut during Track Two sidebar discussions?
Me neither.
The Pakistani people support peace talks and are VERY against the continuation of the war because women and children and poor innocent animals and birds are dying. Use cluster bombs is especially frowned upon by the Pakistani people!!! We want peace for Russia and Ukraine!!! Pleaassseee stop the war PLEASSEEE!!!
"Former officials" and Russia reminds me of former president
The news and political minds are avoiding the one subject they should be informing everyone about. We can't ignore this, we are making the same mistake we made when Russia and Germany invaded Poland. "Putin's plan for Ukraine April 3, 2022".
Didn’t I said it was russia vs us
usa backstabbing ukraine
Afganistan all over again as usal usa diplomatic high skills resurfacing again
So what I hear out of it is. The U.S. is not willing to sponsor the war anymore
What about the Ukrainian gov,?
When Ukraine counteroffensive is having a great success, why negotiate ?
No body want negotiate and betray for second time , Zalensky need step and end his comedy show because this show use too many human life,
Too late. You and Nato should have stayed out. This war would have been over 1 year ago
Secret negotiations to end the special military operation in Ukraine are impossible. There is only one reason – the President of Ukraine adopted a law that directly prohibits peace negotiations with Russia.,
Just think if Ukraine wins make USA look stupid. 20 years in middle E.
Ukraine getting sold out. It's coming. They do this all time. 🇺🇸 USA
Europe is a vassal of United states European puppets have no spine us pulling the strings so avies
Us propaganda is king main streem media in the pockets of military industrial complex Ukraine is loosing bad God bless Russia for multipolar world baby
too little too late. the russians have nothing to gain by negotiating now. they can take whatever they want…
God Bless Putin and his troops.
and the few remaining in America trying to find peace.
The obiden crime family wants war.
Sir, but Arkansas made HIMARS is about to rip some orcs with cluster bombs next week.
1 THESSALONIANS CHAPTER 5 VERSE 3.
👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆
NATO and the US lied to Russian for year with the Minsk agreements how much do you think they will trust the west?
Secret deal by US behind the scenes. they have agreed to return Alaska to the Russian Empire.
We were promised that Ukraine would be at the Gates of Moscow by now! Who lied? Russia was out of missiles, bombs, tanks, drones, jets, helos and soldiers. months back. Meanwhile, Ukraine Army casualties are 250k to 350k KIA and MIA. Ukraine is down to about 30k-60k effective combat troops max. Russia? Now surging to 1,000,000. So Biden and Zelenskyy have DESTROYED Ukraine and her people for a war that was avoidable and lost on Day 1 for nothing. Demoniacs and warmongers who hate Christian Russia. May the Wrath of God fall upon them and the cabal behind the curtains. Demons. The U.S. has become the #1 existential threat to free men and women, not Russia, not China, not Iran but America.
Rubbish……….
FAKE NEWS – An NBC News report claiming that a group of former US officials have been in “secret talks” with Moscow is not accurate, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova stated on Thursday (Today).
This is crazy! The weak Biden administration needs to get out!!
Lol it takes a former administration to try and end the war 😂😂
This is the kind of thing done by any government, to have people like this who can speak informally.
We would all probably be very surprised at how often this kind of thing can keep things from blowing up.
Putin's Private Jet flew to DC Last week..Now Putin is hidding in Biden's basement…
Maybe they talked about the best way to divide Ukraine up…
It’s a trick to restock Ukraine with more weapons
Ronald Reagan would support Ukraine. The GOP is a failure.
Good, this is our government's job. Fueling a regional conflict that will expand into a world war will literally help no one. Get Russia to exit Ukraine in exchange for addressing their security concerns on their borderlands and it's job done.
As the “Logan Act” prohibits unauthorized persons from intervening in disputes between the US and foreign governments, it seems likely they were “unofficially” officially given the go ahead.
Those politicians are out of their mind trying to stop a war that is not their business they should try convincing putin to leave these people land completely and be responsible for rebuilding their homes destroyed by Russian aggression on innocent civilians
They are making millions and millions off the war. This is what they want. No way they will stop the grift
I dont believe this American prpaganda.
Obiden invested billions of Americans dollars to loose at a war he created.
Then the usa blew up nordstrom to instigate, sactions, empty threats and supplements to rainbow 🌈 nato.
Usa is NOT asking for peace in any way.
These reporters need to help in Ukraine 🇺🇦!! Lately these goofs got sooo many experts talking. But if they are experts why do most of them have different answers
As and American I find this offensive. I do not believe that this helps Ukraine. I am also bothered that the US is not moving fast enough to help Ukraine to win. It seems like we don't give enough and when it is really needed. For example, we should have been training Ukrainian pilots last year, the same with the tanks and other armored equipment. If the US and alias did this the war would be over this year.
The notorious, ‘very serious,’ counteroffensive, at least its first stage, has yielded practically no result, but for a lot of destroyed NATO vehicles and enormous losses in manpower,
