Not required. There is a straight line and that's enough.

...have kept a dedicated communication channel for contacts...

"Two sailed along the canal - Mr. Joe and Mr. Vova,
smiled and joked, spoke French,
talked about everything, about fishing, father's house,
about girls, vodka, sex and mutual interest,
and about the fact that there is a dunce that violates the process,
and dreaming of turning his "hut" into dust.

It was not for nothing that Elizabeth Roode gave an extended interview to RIA Novosti. And she is simply proven in US affairs in Russia. Zakharov to the stage.

The United States simply does not give an interview to the enemy media.This is really a signal, but which one? Russians give up?

Why give up right away? Maybe this is a hint that they are still waiting for a call to agree to Russian conditions, and Russia is ignoring them? It is necessary to at least arrange a communication check on this channel, like - "One, two, two times, old Biden (well, you understand), otherwise people are sitting in headphones, waiting, worrying ...

So far, we have rested on the exchange of prisoners, in earnest. I wonder how ours joked? There, in addition to ours, they have another truth-reader of an international scale.

You can hate Russia, find fault with it, but when it comes to personal security, you need a "telephone" Washington - Moscow. In this case, you can not remember about Ukraine either.

Nobody wants to die. We are also in no hurry to heaven.
And there should be protection from fools like Ze and the Poles.

War, war, but the channels are working. There is something to discuss. In addition to Ukraine.

[Andobor]

There is definitely an agreement not to use a vigorous loaf in this confrontation.

Pindocs, they are. With one hand they are fighting Bolshevism, with the other they are industrializing these Bolsheviks. Not for free, of course, but these are details.

... and was in connection with her ... or in connection?

[Uprun]

They found out in which cases the striped ones would rake off a vigorous loaf from behind the outskirts.

[iouris]

What is there to find out? After "Ryabkov's ultimatum", the presence of the US and NATO within the designated boundaries of the "red waterline" is a "casus belli". And at any moment...

This is what the author of the article wanted.
And the original said:
Ahead of the meeting, the National Security Council said. "He (Burns )does not negotiate. He does not discuss the settlement of the war in Ukraine, we firmly adhere to our basic principle: nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine," the message says.
This was announced ahead of the meeting by the National Security Council. "He (Burns) does not negotiate. He does not discuss the settlement of the war in Ukraine, we firmly adhere to our basic principle: nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine", - the report says.
Now why were the negotiations initiated?
In October, there were many statements in the media about what a "red line" is and when it is necessary to use tactical nuclear weapons and that a "dirty bomb" is being prepared in Ukraine.
The Security Council sent Burns for one purpose, to explain what measures would be taken in cases of the use of TNW. This list was published in foreign media, for obvious reasons I do not cite it. But the fact remains that after November 14, talk about the use of tactical nuclear weapons and the "dirty bomb" ceased.

No, not really - why would the Americans "negotiate" with us?
