️Russia signals a possible new round of talks with Ukraine. FM Sergey Lavrov stated that a new phase of negotiations between Russia and Ukraine may be announced "in the near future."
@noelreports More delay tactics to keep Trump from agreeing to tougher sanctions. He'll predictably say, again: "Russia wants negotiations, and Zelenskyy is the obstacle to peace, because he's saying bad things about Russia."
That narrative has even captured some on the left wing of the German Social Democrats (SPD), who think that removing restrictions on the use of Western weapons is a wrong signal now that "diplomacy has picked up again." He's probably talking about the symbolic diplomacy of Russia sending hundreds of drones into Ukraine to kill civilians for several nights in a row.
