The two countries have been trying to work out the deal since February, which would give the U.S. access to mineral riches in Ukraine in exchange for funding the country during its war with Russia.
It is the world’s most unjustly vilified man doing everything in his power to stop a war. And doing it by talking directly, one on one, with perhaps the world’s most unjustly lionised hero. There has not been an effort towards peace such as this in living memory.
Right now, peace talks are still technically alive. But only just. The United States must prepare itself for the day diplomacy no longer has a pulse.
A new report from the New York Times, of all places, reveals just how calamitous former President Joe Biden’s Ukraine debacle has been.
When the no-fly zone over Iraq was in place, radars that illuminated NATO aircraft were routinely engaged and destroyed before they could lock on. NATO member aircraft killing Russians on Russian-occupied soil has potential for escalation along the lines of World War Three. Has anyone explained this to Starmer and Macron? If so, did they understand?

For Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, it’s a case of today Ukraine, tomorrow the world.
Zelenskyy responded, saying Ukraine would support a cease-fire on energy infrastructure.
