    I question why the US is doing the rejection rather than Ukraine (and similarly, why the UK rejected the last peace talks…)

      The article you posted: “The Americans refuse to talk unless the Ukrainians are also invited”

      You, for some reason: “Why is America deciding for Ukraine?”

      It’s one of Putin’s strategies: To make it look like it is a conflict between the US/NATO and Russia, not between Ukraine and Russia. He also tries to diminish Ukrainian sovereignity by making it appear as if the US is the overlord, as if Ukraine is an American puppet. It’s all about making Ukraine look like it isn’t its own country. That’s why we get those bullshit historic lessons by that pathetic man-child.

      From the article:

      A U.S. official, speaking in Washington on condition of anonymity, said that the U.S. has not engaged in any back channel discussions with Russia and that Washington had been consistent in not going behind the back of Ukraine.
