More than two dozen liberal House members are calling on President Joe Biden to shift course in his Ukraine strategy and pursue direct diplomacy with Russia to bring the months-long conflict to an end.

pretty sure Biden is not the aggressor here, and I honestly have no idea what the situation would have been if Trump still would be president of the US.

diplomacy and violence are tightly connected in times of war, and I dont know what direct diplomacy means in this case. A sovereign state was invaded with massive loss of life and a massive effect on geo economics. what would be an acceptable diplomatic outcome where we as a global society do not accept violent conquests like this?

@Tracos i don't know, maybe you should ask those democrats.

@boudinMan its a really vague letter.... it recognizes that everybody except Putin wants to engage in diplomacy, and yet:

In conclusion, we urge you to make vigorous diplomatic efforts in support of a negotiated
settlement and ceasefire, engage in direct talks with Russia, explore prospects for a new
European security arrangement acceptable to all parties that will allow for a sovereign and
independent Ukraine, and, in coordination with our Ukrainian partners, seek a rapid end to the
conflict and reiterate this goal as America’s chief priority.
