"Congressional progressive Democrats withdrew their letter calling for a
peaceful settlement in Ukraine, with Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.), the
caucus chair, claiming that it was "released without vetting." However,
an antiwar trend appears to be emerging in the US Congress, which is
triggering concern in Kiev, according to the US press.
The
CPC letter called on US President Joe Biden to pursue a "proactive
push, doubling efforts to seek a realistic framework for a cease fire"
and "every diplomatic avenue to support such a solution that is
acceptable to the people of Ukraine."
"The
alternative to diplomacy is protracted war, with both its attendant
certainties and catastrophic and unknowable risks," the letter read.
However,
the progressives' initiative was met with fierce criticism from their
fellow Democrats, who accused the 30 signatories to the letter of
undermining Washington's support for Kiev at a critical time." Sputnik
