Message From The Kremlin On Vietnam Peace Efforts
The Kremlin signals willingness to aid peace only if Washington pursues sincere talks but refuses to mediate, warning that escalation by the U S would trigger a Soviet response. Kosygin and Brezhnev reportedly urged U S diplomats to accept an honorable peace while Moscow pressures Hanoi and Paris to speed talks. Eaton relays Moscow’s view that deadlock stems from Washington and notes possible new market incentives if a settlement occurs. The piece highlights diplomatic maneuvering, risks of bargaining positions, and the need for dual minimal-term lists from Washington and Hanoi.
