…The aggressive push for a deal by #Trump’s admin is a blow to #Europe’s leaders, who have spent weeks attempting to shore up #Ukraine’s position by brokering peace talks w/the #UnitedStates. The first effort convened last week in Paris & another session was set to start Wed in London before #MarcoRubio announced that he would no longer attend.

Rubio’s decision to cancel caught the British govt off guard, …David Lammy, the foreign secretary, had fully expected him….

Continued thread

The #threat by #JDVance to walk away from peace talks were similar to comments last wk from Secy of #State #MarcoRubio & from #Trump, who said…if the 2 sides don’t agree quickly to a deal, “we’re just going to say, ‘You’re foolish, you’re fools, you’re horrible people, & we’re going to just take a pass.’”

Wed, Vance said under the US proposal, “We’re going to freeze the territorial lines at some level close to where they are today.” [not his call]

Sec of State #MarcoRubio announced major reorganizatin of the #StateDepartment which includes a 15% reduction in total staff and the number of bureaus reduced from 734 to 602.… Tyler McBrien, Editor of #Lawfare: “The new State Department reorg pretty much cuts all departments related to global #women’s issues, global #criminaljustice, #conflict stabilization operations, #trafficking in persons, and international #ReligiousFreedom offices/bureaus.” #diplomacy #government #trump #russia #china
