Russia Close to Capture Vuhledar, Launches Big Missile Attack; Blinken, Nuland Floats Peace Offer (Alexander Mercouris)

A good discussion about peace talks. The Russians cannot trust the USA as they have acted in a Machiavellian way in the past. The only way Russia would accept a peace deal at this stage would be for Ukraine to surrender and give up all their weapons. That would be the starting point. Any military force still existing in Ukraine, along with their existing Government, plus the backing of the West, would be seen as an ongoing threat to Russia. All these things would have to be ended for the Russians to agree to stop fighting.
