Summary

The U.S. and Russia started high-level talks in Saudi Arabia, marking a shift in U.S. policy under Trump.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio met with Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov without including Ukraine or European nations.

The meeting raises concerns in Kyiv and among European leaders, as it could legitimize Russia’s territorial gains and weaken Ukraine.

Ukraine warned that any agreement excluding them would be invalid, while European officials feared Russia might exploit a ceasefire to regroup and launch further attacks in Ukraine or beyond.

    Never seen a more useless group of people in a room. This means nothing. It is like children pretending to be shop owners and playing business.

    Just ignore this as it is meant to rile up people, just ignore them. Ukraine and Europe should send a message to russia that they are ready for a surrender and prepared to start talking about reparations from russia. If they do not respond continue bombing them. In fact, with the support of Europe Ukraine should expand the war into russia (beyond what they already have).

    Main thing to take away from this is: ignore the children on a BS mission and setup a fact and reality based alternative where adults can join and discuss what to do with this war from russia and how to handle and close it.
    If you respond to this nonsense meeting and get annoyed or whatever, you just legitimized that group of clowns.

      Olaf Scholz just announced the EU will be donating $732 billion of war materiel to Ukraine. I’m so happy about this. They’re not going to let the US sell Ukraine out.

      I wish I lived in the EU so badly.
