**An expanded thought on the US State Dept’s rhetoric..**

 **When the US State Department empty head/empty words mouthpiece speaks in this manner- It’s clear that Zelensky is being held up as the one responsible for all the misery Ukrainians are suffering– But this is untrue- Remember way back in March of 2022- Zelensky was ready to make a diplomatic deal in Turkey and the US stepped in and put a stop to it**. **We see this same type of behaviour from the US in it’s attempt to blame Europe for this situation.**

**Humour for the day.. As the US State Dept., LIES**

> The US Department of State has commented on the initiative of the UAE President, who proposed organising a meeting between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Russian President Vladimir Putin at the Dubai Climate Conference.

> Source: **Matthew Miller, spokesman for the US Department of State, reported by European Pravda**
> 
> Details: Miller said that **the decision on any meeting between the presidents of Ukraine and Russia “is for President Zelenskyy to make”.**
> 
> Quote: “***We have made clear that Ukraine is in the driver’s seat when it comes to deciding the future of Ukraine, and that is true with respect to any potential negotiations.”***
> 
> More details: Miller also pointed out once again that *“President Zelenskyy has made clear for some time, including since before the outset of this war, that he is open to conversations about – with Russia that respect Ukraine’s territorial integrity and Ukraine’s sovereignty.”*
> 
> ***“So, I will let him speak to when he is ready – or when they would have any such conversations.***

**Joke, but, it’s not funny. Spin is what this is.**
