WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - There should be some effort made to bring both Ukraine and Russia to the upcoming peace conference in Switzerland as it is hard to imagine negotiations without Russia, US Congressman Thomas Massie told Sputnik on Friday.
“This sounds kind of hard to negotiate a peace if they don't have Russia at the table. So I think there should be some effort to have Ukraine and Russia there,” Massie said on the sidelines of the 2024 Libertarian National Convention.
He also added that US lawmakers are showing dwindling support for sending military aid to Ukraine each time the matter comes to a vote.
“The support for sending weapons to Ukraine is weakening in the US Congress, as you can see with each subsequent vote,” Massie said.
The United States should stop sending money to Ukraine and attempt to negotiate peace as soon as possible, congressmend underlined.
“I think we should quit sending money there. I think we should try to negotiate peace as soon as possible,” he said.
