​​​Members of the far-left Congressional Progressive Caucus did an about-face after being scolded over a letter they sent President Biden urging him to negotiate with Russian leader Vladimir Putin to end the eight-month-long war in Ukraine.

The letter — signed by 30 Democrats, including Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of the Bronx and Queens and Rep. Yvette Clarke of Brooklyn — called on the White House to pursue a “proactive diplomatic push” in an effort to reach a “ceasefire.”

“We urge you to make vigorous diplomatic efforts in support of a negotiated settlement and ceasefire, engage in direct talks with Russia [and] explore prospects for a new European security arrangement acceptable to all parties that will allow for a sovereign and independent Ukraine,” ​Rep. Pramila Jayapal, the chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, and others said in the missive sent Monday.
