Sometimes you do a Deal to get the OTHER Deal, people who never negotiated anything don't understand! They send a stern Letter, everybody should drop the Weapons..... I've seen those Letters, TERRIBLE, you can tell a person with no Money wrote it. No Confidence! I come in with something they WANT, suddenly they're sitting UP. I didn't say Agree, I said SITTING UP, already more movement than their Letter got!

SUGGESTED NEXT STEP

Introduce a loyalty discount if Russia attends two consecutive peace talks.

PUBLIC RECORD

Reuters reported October 12 that U.S. envoys told Ukrainian officials the diesel deal was intended to draw Moscow back into negotiations. According to sources familiar with the meeting, the envoys also said Putin was not prepared to negotiate an end to the war.
