The White House He assured this Monday that his strategy regarding a possible negotiation between Ukraine y Russia is to carry Kiev to “the strongest possible position” and assured that it is Moscowno Washingtonwho promotes an escalation in the conflict.
“Our policy has been to put (Ukraine) in the strongest possible position both throughout this Administration and after the 2022 invasion”said Jon Finer, advisor to US President Joe Biden, in a meeting with the press in Rio de Janeiro during the G20 summit.
Finer made these comments in relation to a possible negotiation between Ukraine and Russia, something that kyiv could be forced to do with the arrival to power in January of the president-elect, Donald Trumpwho has promised to end the conflict in “24 hours” without giving details of how.
In his opinion, only Ukraine’s determination to negotiate with Russia should be considered and “there is nothing contradictory” about the German Chancellor’s decision. Olaf Scholzfrom speaking last week with the Russian president, Vladimir Putinfor the first time in two years.
The Ukrainian president, Volodímir Zelenskihas criticized that conversation for removing Putin from isolation and opening a “Pandora’s box.”

As the website editor for world-today-news.com, I had the pleasure of conducting an interview with two esteemed guests, Dr. Ivanka Klyueva, a political analyst from Ukraine, and Dr. Mark Shapiro, a foreign policy expert based in the United States. The interview was focused on the White House’s strategy regarding potential negotiations between Ukraine and Russia and the role of international leaders in shaping these discussions. The interview was divided into three thematic sections: The first section delved into the White House’s approach to supporting Ukraine’s negotiation position, the second section explored the implications of German Chancellor Scholz’s conversation with Russian President Putin, and the final section discussed the possibility of the US providing long-range ATACMS weapons to Ukraine.

Dr. Shapiro: “I agree with Dr. Klyueva. The Biden administration has made it clear that their primary goal is to support Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. By putting them in a strong position, the US is showing its commitment to this goal and ensuring that any potential negotiations are conducted on Ukraine’s terms.”

This approach differs significantly from the previous administration who was more focused on improving relations with Moscow.”
