Support For Biden's Proxy War in Ukraine is Cracking Among US Lawmakers, Citizens

"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
