Russian foreign intelligence chief Sergei Naryshkin said on Wednesday that he and CIA counterpart William Burns had discussed “what to do with Ukraine” in a phone call late last month, Russia’s TASS news agency said.
Ukraine, which was invaded by Russia in February 2022, says other countries should not negotiate its future on its behalf, and the United States has repeatedly backed this principle, described as “nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine”.
This is another positive development. We know we have lost Ukraine, and the time is approaching for us to wash our hands of the mess we made there.
