So far, U.S.
military forces have destroyed 21 boats that the administration says were trafficking drugs.
and killed 83 people without publicly releasing evidence that the boats were actually carrying drugs.
Meanwhile, Venezuela is warning that the U.S.
intends to invade the country and seize its oil reserves.
This week sees the U.S.
again ramping up diplomatic efforts to end the war in Ukraine.
Joining us to talk about the state of play is NPR's Charles Maines, who joins us on the line from Moscow.
Hi, Charles.
Okay, so let's begin with this weekend's negotiations.
What can you tell us?
Okay.
Now, White House envoy Steve Wyckoff is expected in Moscow soon.
Any sense of what he can expect?
So, OK, Wyckoff and Putin have some rapport, as I hear there.
Trump says he does as well with Putin.
But has that translated into any actual flexibility in the Russian position?
That's NPR's Charles Maines in Moscow.
Thank you, Charles.
And that's Up First for Monday, December 1st.
