Progressive Caucus tries to clarify call for Biden to find diplomatic solution to Ukraine

The Congressional Progressive Caucus on Monday evening sought to couch a statement from earlier in the day requesting that President Biden shift his administration’s policies on Ukraine and start some form of negotiations with Russia.

In a move that raised questions among fellow Democrats, a group of dozens of liberal House lawmakers led by Progressive Caucus Chair Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) sent a letter earlier in the day to the White House calling for a possible diplomatic solution to end Moscow’s unprovoked conflict with Ukraine.
