Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has clashed with the United States and Ukraine’s other allies at the United Nations Security Council after his country ruled out any peace plan backed by Ukraine and the West.
He said that peace plans presented by Ukraine and the West were “a road to nowhere”.
But Robert Wood, the US Deputy Ambassador, said that it was Russian President Vladimir Putin’s “single-minded pursuit of the obliteration of Ukraine and subjugation of its people that is prolonging” the full-scale war that began when Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022.
A deal regarding security at the border with Mexico is reportedly being discussed and finalised in the US Senate in a bid to unblock Republican support for further aid for Ukraine.
Dan Crenshaw, a moderate Republican congressman, has criticised MAGA Republicans for their unwillingness to work with US President Joe Biden on border security and Ukraine aid.
Crenshaw said that some Republicans are saying “we’ll never vote for it if it’s attached to Ukraine aid. Really? We get meaningful border policy with the Ukraine aid and you’re not going to vote for that?
“You want Russia to win more than you want border policy changes? Some people say Biden wants it now because it’s helpful to him politically? OK! I want border security, that’s what I told my constituents I would do for them. So if we can get that deal, that’s a no-brainer.”
