🇺🇸🇷🇺 2 American businessmen BUILT a private back channel to Putin in 2022 when there were NUCLEAR FEARS over Ukraine
Connecticut lawyer Richard Conn and banker Bob Foresman passed White House messages through Warnig, Putin’s longtime Stasi friend. Tensions eased soon after.
The group later drafted a peace outline that Putin reportedly marked up, but Kyiv rejected it. The channel collapsed in early 2023 after Sullivan, fmr Biden's Security Advisor, reportedly disowned it.
Today, a local humanitarian pause is set for next week, with new technical talks being discussed, but the war is still active.
Unofficial channels got a hearing when the nuclear risk felt real. Official ones are still searching for the same opening 4 years later.
