Lavrov has once again emphasized that Russia is open to negotiation and diplomatic dialogue—including with the US— the current president's refusal to talk notwithstanding.
Funny part is, the West can always step down and accept the terms. Which are, mind you, not for ending the war, but for beginning of negotiations. Actual Russian terms would be much greater in scope, I believe. But anyway, it's funny to think that at this point in history, NATO could have bailed on these terms. Instead it will speed off the cliff and in ten years these terms will be viewed as lavishly rich and unthinkable.

Thanks for your analysis, Julian.
Well said. Concur completely. It's Biden's war, after all....
