The US administration's emphasis on negotiations with Russia on Ukraine

 US President Joe Biden's administration has personally urged Ukrainian leaders to negotiate with Russia instead of calling for President Vladimir Putin's removal from office.

According to the American newspaper Washington Post, American officials have said that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's refusal to negotiate with his Russian counterpart has raised concerns in countries other than Europe, where the effects of the war are in the form of rising oil and food prices. I am obvious.

The report, without naming U.S. officials, said the U.S. push for talks with Ukraine was not meant to exert pressure but to ensure that countries affected by the war continue to cooperate with Kiev. 

The complex position of the Biden administration on the issue of Ukraine can be seen from the fact that, on the one hand, the United States publicly gives statements of financial and military support to Ukraine, while on the other hand, it is also hoping for the end of this war that has been going on for eight months. .

The United States, like Ukrainian officials, believes that President Vladimir Putin is not serious about negotiations, but at the same time, the United States is aware of the concerns of Europe, Africa and Latin countries that have arisen as a result of the Ukrainian president's refusal to negotiate.

President Vladimir Zelensky has said he will not negotiate with Russia until Vladimir Putin steps down.

According to the Washington Post, the National Security Council of the White House did not comment on the question in this regard, but the spokesperson of the State Department replied that "We have said before and we will say it again that actions speak louder than words." are If Russia is willing to negotiate, it should stop dropping bombs and missiles and withdraw its troops from Ukraine.

The spokesperson further said that Russia is continuously strengthening this war. Even before the attack on Ukraine, Russia did not agree to serious negotiations.
