Russia is open to negotiations over Ukraine, but any agreement with Kiev would have little credibility because it could be rescinded by the West, Kremlin Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov said on Sunday. This means that any possible settlement should be primarily discussed with the US.

The spokesman told Rossiya-1 TV channel:

"Any unilateral diplomatic engagement with Ukraine is unlikely to succeed because the deciding vote rests with Washington. It's just impossible to discuss something, for example, with Kiev."

According to Peskov, while Russia could try to reach some agreements with Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky, but

"based on what happened in March, these agreements are worthless, because they can be instantly canceled upon orders from outside actors."

Peskov signaled that Russian President Vladimir Putin is ready for talks over Ukraine.

"The president has repeatedly said he is open to the negotiation process... Whether they are ready or not, but the West should know and hear this."

Earlier this month, Zelensky signed a decree on Ukraine officially rejecting peace talks with the Russian president.

Speaking to reporters, Russian Ambassador to the US Anatoly Antonov said: "Washington's reaction to the terrorist attack on the port of Sevastopol is truly outrageous," adding that the US refrained from condemning "the reckless actions of the Kiev regime."

Antonov noted the West's "complete disregard" of Russia's allegations that the bombing of Russian ships was organized with the involvement of the British military. The UK Ministry of Defence has denied the accusation.

Amid "attacks and provocations against Russian military and merchant vessels involved in the Black Sea Initiative", Moscow cannot continue operations without paying attention to security issues, Antonov insisted.

The envoy also addressed "insinuations" that Russia is causing global starvation, saying Moscow has repeatedly highlighted the importance of supplying the poorest countries with agricultural goods.

"However, under the grain scheme, a good half of all dry-cargo carriers went to developed countries. At the same time, Somalia, Ethiopia, Yemen, Sudan and Afghanistan received only about 3% of agricultural products."

On Saturday, Russia's Defense Ministry announced that it was suspending the implementation of agreements on the export of agricultural products from Ukrainian ports, citing a Ukrainian "terror attack" against ships of the Black Sea Fleet and civilian vessels involved in ensuring the security of the grain corridor.

US President Joe Biden denounced Moscow's decision as

"purely outrageous," claiming it would "increase starvation." "There's no merit to what they're doing. The UN negotiated that deal and that should be the end of it."

Meanwhile, commenting on Russia's decision to suspend the grain deal, Andrey Ermak, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky's chief of staff, accused Moscow of "blackmail."

It's being reported that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband, Paul Pelosi, will fortunately make a full recovery after a man entered his home and attacked him with a hammer.
[...]

That's what it sounds like.

A Washington Post report is similar to Politico's story, but puts it this way:

Police were dispatched at 2:27 a.m. Friday to a break-in at the Pelosi home, Police Chief Scott said, adding that police knocked on arrival, and the front door was opened "by someone inside."

And who might that "someone" be?

So many questions.
