From the article” Blinken asked Lavrov for the meeting…”, curious timing. Artymovsk( Bakmut) is falling, the West knows what that means. Perhaps Blinken is taking General Miley’s remarks that the Ukies need to start negotiating…..becoming clearer every day:

Ukraine 1991-2023 RIP.

Russians must be on the brink of total collapse. Why would US beg to meet with… I mean why would Russia meet with US unless Ukraine needs a way… I mean Russia needs a way out and save face

Admiral Rachel would indeed scare the pants off of them all. Wonder why Joe didn’t think of this.

Curious. The claim that Blinken requested the meeting could be a pre-arranged way for the Russians to save face. In any event, cease-fire and peace terms will be discussed as well as limitations on the conflict. The larger context suggests that diplomacy is now in play in that Putin has become publicly pessimistic about Russia’s survival.
