I said two weeks ago that Joe Biden didn't want diplomacy in the Russia-Ukraine War. (He and the Nat-Sec Nutsacks™ are probably, as old Cold Warriors, seeing analogies to Russia-Afghanistan.)
Per Al Jazeera, neither does Zelenskyy, or so it cites Dmitri Peskov, Putin's PR mouthpiece, claiming about Ukraine. It also directly cites US Secretary of State Tony Blinken claiming — in the face of what seems to be good evidence otherwise — that Russia doesn't want to talk.
The Al Jazeera is via Scott Dunn, a generally good to very good read on Medium.
Of course, Zelenskyy's C-in-C really, really doesn't want negotiations.

Xi Jinping, per James Dorsey, would like something different in Ukraine, and is, essentially, continuing to work on a situational basis on how many pairs of kid gloves to wear while handling Putin.

Latest confirmation of what many of us already know? Ukrainian corruption is so bad that Russia is apparently already getting its hand on arms meant for Ukraine, per details on how it's buying the drones it's getting from Iran.
There you go.
In exchange, the source said, Russia sent a British NLAW anti-tank missile, a US Javelin anti-tank missile and a Stinger anti-aircraft missile. Those weapons somehow "fell into Russian hands" on their way to Ukraine as military aid, the source told Sky.

The latest sign of how low Aaron Maté has fallen.
Not a good sign for Zelensky if he’s willing to sink this low: https://t.co/TJK7mufwGb

Seriously, Aaron, how unserious can you be? You know that many of the Never Trumper Rethugs support this war. As one person responded to you, both neolibs and neocons support it.
