Soviet Union will not increase aid to North Vietnam
Saigon diplomatic sources say the Soviet Union is urging a political settlement for the war in Laos and has told North Vietnam it will not boost military aid. Russia reportedly told Hanoi to pull 30,000 troops from northern Laos, as preliminary peace talks raise cautious optimism for a settlement, though a long process is expected. The Soviet aim is to curb Red China’s influence in Indochina and support Souvanna Phouma’s neutralist government in Laos. The Pathet Lao has softened demands, now open to talks among Laotian factions without a halt to American bombing.
