A group of congressmen has withdrawn a letter urging President Joe Biden to join in the negotiations with the Russian Federation on the settlement in Ukraine.
Earlier it was reported that 30 US congressmen appealed to the US president to negotiate with Russia to resolve the situation in Ukraine. The letter was signed by members of the House of Representatives from the left wing of the Democratic Party in Congress. The report states that the catastrophic consequences of the hostilities are directly affecting the rise in food and gas prices in the United States.
The appeal sparked a heated debate in the Democratic Party about the future strategy for resolving the conflict.< /p>
In the hours after publication, Congressional Progressive Caucus Chairwoman Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) issued a statement to clarify that she and her colleagues were not trying to propose cutting off military aid to Ukraine.
The reaction of individual democratic legislators was even more vigorous. Mark Pokan (Wisconsin), who signed the letter, said it was first written in July and he was surprised by the publication.
