Russia and Ukraine - The Only Time a Peace Deal Was Possible

The State Department and the National Security Council were against that or against the idea of talks. The only time a peace deal seemed possible back in April, Boris Johnson went to Kiev and urged Zelensky not to negotiate. While the US has discouraged negotiations throughout the 10 months of war, the Biden administration has continued to escalate military aid. Congress has authorized $112 billion in spending to support Ukraine.
