Big Ukr Defeat Relaunch Offensive; Rus Missile Strike; US-Rus Secret Talks, US Ready to Abandon Ukr (Alexander Mercouris)

The neocons look like they are trying to find a way to stalemate the conflict diplomatically and it's likely the Russians will just ignore them. The neocon hucksters are not living in the real world. The only way the war is likely to end is with a Ukrainian surrender. After all the weapons sent to Ukraine by the West, the use of US intelligence assets, the training of troops, the flow of mercenaries, and the trickery with the Minsk talks, there is no way the Russians can trust anything the West says. If they give in to any agreement short of surrender the Russians will end up fighting a strengthened Ukraine in five or ten years time.
