Washington, DC – Left-wing US lawmakers have withdrawn a letter that called on President Joe Biden to engage in “vigorous” diplomacy to end the war between Russia and Ukraine, after facing a firestorm of criticism and accusations of appeasing Moscow.
Democratic Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal, chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, issued a statement on Tuesday saying the letter had been drafted months ago and released by staff earlier this week “without vetting”.
