"Secretary of State Antony Blinken says Washington will “allow” lifting of sanctions to help Ukraine negotiate end to the war
Volodymyr Zelensky, the Ukrainian president, was given permission by Washington to give Russia an exemption from all international sanctions in return for a halting its military aggression against the ex-Soviet republic.
Antony Blinken, the US Secretary of State, opened the doors to this offer Sunday. He confirmed in an NBC News interview Zelensky’s ability to negotiate peace sanctions relief. He said President Joe Biden’s administration will support whatever the Ukrainian people want to do to bring the war to an end.
“We’ll be looking to see what Ukraine is doing and what it wants to do,” Blinken said. “And if it concludes that it can bring this war to an end, stop the death and destruction and continue to assert its independence and its sovereignty – and ultimately that requires the lifting of sanctions – of course, we will allow that.”
Back to the negotiating table this morning.
Anybody have the start time?
