Update: Details Of Secret US-Russia Talks Revealed As Ukraine Counteroffensive In Bad Shape (Zero Hedge)
WNU Editor: Secret US - Russia back-channel talks?!?!? This is news to me. And while I wish there is a lot of back-channel talks between the US and Russia, my gut tells me there has been no serious back-channel talks between the US and Russia since last year.

First admission they are wrong to not consider Russia concern about regional security, then if Ukraine counterattack succed Russia will use tactical nuclear weapons (but this is a weapon against fix points, not moving troops), and end the better way is to oust Putin with a coup? And all the tragedy has started with a coup in Kiev? And because idiot like this are in charge.
