BBC News: Reports " Russia says the West's refusal to recognise "new territories" seized from Ukraine makes peace talks harder, after President Joe Biden indicated he would be ready to meet Vladimir Putin. "
Lets Get Real:
As the above article notes any talks between POTUS and Putin would be conditional on Putin wanting to end the WAR IN THE UKRAINE. The West will never force the Kyiv Governemtn to give land to the Russians, and the Russians will have to show they mean peace by getting out of the whole of the Ukraine, the sticking point might be the Ukraine. The West has to much invested in the Ukraine to allow the Russians to have a win, a Putin win would allow him to move his eyes to the Baltic States and Poland, that would lead to WW3. The Kremlin knows that if it was really honest with the Russian people about the loses that the Russian Army has faced in the Ukraine, then the Putin regime would come under threat. Those Russian Soldiers killed in the Ukraine is thousands more than those killed in the Afghanistan War from 1979 - 1989, that helped bring down the USSR. One does worry there are appeasers in the US State Department and that the US NSA wants to keep lines open with Moscow, that might be seen as a weakness by Putin and his Court.
