October 24, 2022 | Retracted: Congress Members Urge Peace Settlement in Ukraine
Progressive Congress Members wrote a letter to Biden calling for a dramatic shift in policy with regard to the Ukraine situation.
Their remarks concluded with, “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.”
This is a critical change in direction.
