Representatives of the House of Representatives believe that the diplomatic path will help speed up peace on the European continent.
A group of 30 liberal Democrats of the US House of Representatives sent a letter to President Joe Biden calling for a reconsideration of the war strategy in Ukraine and for direct negotiations with Russia. On Monday, October 24, CNN reports.
In a letter sent to Biden on Monday, the politicians said they appreciated the president’s efforts to support Ukraine, but suggested that an attempt to end the war through diplomacy was needed to avoid a long, drawn-out rivalry.
“Given the devastation this war has caused for Ukraine and the world, and the risk of catastrophic escalation, we believe it is in the interest of Ukraine, the United States and the world to avoid protracted conflict,” the group said, led by Congressional Progressive Caucus head Pramilla Jayapal.

The MPs urged Biden to combine the military and economic support the United States has given Ukraine with a proactive diplomatic push, “to redouble efforts to find a realistic framework for a ceasefire.”
In this regard, the coordinator for strategic communication at the White House, John Kirby, replied that without the participation of Ukraine, it would be impossible.
“Of course, we appreciate the views expressed by these members of Congress. We know about this letter. We appreciate their concern about what’s happening in Ukraine,” Kirby said.
He emphasized that without the participation of the Ukrainian side, the United States will not negotiate with Russia.
Recall that in the Russian Federation they began to spread false statements about the alleged preparation of a provocation by Ukraine with a “dirty bomb”. This is also what Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said in talks with colleagues from Turkey, France, Great Britain and the United States.
According to the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), Shoigu’s “dirty bomb” claim is an attempt to slow down or stop Western military aid to Ukraine and weaken NATO.
