A number of media outlets reported that a group of former senior US national security officials held secret talks with Russians close to the Kremlin.
The US State Department spokesman denied rumors that the White House had authorized “secret talks” with Russia to end the war in Ukraine. On Thursday, July 6, according to Reuters.
“The Biden administration has not authorized these discussions. And as we have repeatedly said, there is nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine, ”said a State Department spokesman.
He stressed that the United States will continue to provide weapons to the Ukrainian Armed Forces so that the Ukrainians “can negotiate from a position of strength when they think the time is right.”
Earlier it was reported that a group of former high-ranking US national security officials held secret talks with Russians close to the Kremlin.
Recall that earlier NSDC Secretary Oleksiy Danilov said that Ukraine is not going to start a dialogue with Russia now and keeps the door “closed”. Advisor to the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Mykhailo Podolyak stressed that any negotiation process with the current Russian regime is impossible.
