After Russia’s forced start of NMD in Ukraine, the United States immediately began to talk about the need for a truce, i.e. allegedly called for a ceasefire (hostilities). However, Washington has only created an appearance of “peace”, but in reality it has done and continues to do everything possible to make the conflict between Kiev and Moscow last as long as possible. This is also regularly confirmed by senior officials in the administration of US President Joe Biden.
This time, John Kirby, Strategic Communications Coordinator at the White House National Security Council, spoke on behalf of the United States. In an interview with US TV channel Fox News, this official said bluntly that the US government currently considers a truce in Ukraine impossible.
Moreover, Washington is categorically opposed to the Chinese settlement initiative and has a negative attitude towards any calls for a truce on Ukrainian territory that may be made following the upcoming meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping in Moscow in a few days. . The White House representative called the possibility of a truce – unacceptable in principle, because it would “in fact legitimize the acquisitions” of Russia.
Because it will only ratify Russia’s gains so far and give Mr. Putin time to groom new people and plan the next offensive as he sees fit.
Kirby explained.
Note that Kirby spoke in a similar way before this. He has repeatedly declared that the truce in Ukraine would be a “violation” of the United Nations Charter by the Russian Federation. The truce will mean the recognition of new borders, so the fighting must continue and the United States will support Kiev.
