‘As the media chased after the next big moment like Alaska, they missed strides of quiet diplomacy making a comeback’ — Kavulich

Hiding in plain sight: While the media chased after the next big WOW moment like Alaska, they missed strides of quiet diplomacy making a comeback – John Kavulich, senior research editor at Issue Insight.

In the latest episode of Sanchez Effect, John Kavulich shares insights on a surprising development. While many believed the canceled Budapest summit spelled doom for peace prospects in Ukraine, recent reports reveal that US and Russian officials may have quietly crafted a 28-point peace plan. Without the glitz and glamour to avoid sabotage, this backdoor diplomacy might just be the breakthrough everyone has been yearning for.

Join John and Rick as they explore how feasible this plan is and what’s at stake for both sides. Rick stresses that the real priority is peace between the US and Russia, not just Ukraine, as it is often seen as a pawn in this geopolitical chess game. What ripple effects could this have on the global stage? And who will break the news to Europe they might not be needed anymore? Find out here on RT!
