Attention is on the most powerful figure in the US government
The director of the Central Intelligence Agency, who leads the Biden administration’s foreign policy and is responsible for preventive programs on one hand and confrontational programs with America’s rivals on the other, met with his Russian counterpart this week and will have a similar meeting with Ukrainian officials.
William Burns, the most important figure in Biden’s foreign policy, who is naturally the designer and leader of a significant part of Biden’s administration plans regarding Iran, is conducting these meetings at a time when new reports and analyses about the US government’s plan concerning the Russian aggression crisis in Ukraine are dominating the headlines. With the current situation of the Ukraine crisis and the US efforts to maximize Western countries’ support in continuing aid to Ukraine, creating a completely potential ground for dialogue between the two sides without necessarily becoming serious in the coming weeks is of great importance to Biden and his foreign policy team.
This potential ground and showing a willingness to dialogue from the Ukrainians can rightly portray the Russians as the main factor of the crisis and prove the value of continuing support for the Ukrainians to European countries and especially to the American public.
