However, as a White House official clarified on Monday, Burns’ goal is to convey a message about with its consequences of Russia’s use of nuclear weapons in Ukraine, in the shadow of the barrage of nuclear threats from Russian officials, especially after the loss of Kherson.
“He’s not conducting any kind of negotiations. He’s not discussing settling the war in Ukraine,” the U.S. official clarified, speaking on condition of anonymity, adding that Burns will also raise the cases of Americans held in Russia such as Brittney Greiner.
