Russia and US Diplomats Meet in Saudi Arabia for Ukraine Talks
ai generated text
US and Russian officials will meet in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on Tuesday for talks. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Yuri Ushakov are scheduled to travel to the Saudi capital, where they will meet US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, and Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff.
As I stand here in Munich tonight, I cannot help but ask, have we been here before? Czechoslovakia,1938.
Russia attacked Ukraine and we had no choice but to take up arms and defend ourselves. And there was no diplomacy because Russia attacked, attacked Ukraine at night and Ukrainians took up arms and started to defend their country.
We will not be able to effectively help Ukraine if we do not immediately take practical steps regarding our own defence capabilities.
We discussed and outlined our principled positions, and agreed that separate teams of negotiators will be in touch on this topic in due course.
It was a very serious conversation on all the questions we wanted to touch upon.
The main thing is to begin a real normalization of relations between us and Washington.
They are expected to hold a meeting with their American counterparts on Tuesday, which will focus primarily on restoring the entire complex of Russian-American relations.
We see a nervous, if not to say panicky reaction of the West to the Russia-U.S. contacts.
We did not just listen but heard each other, and I have reason to believe the American side has better understood our position.
Russia and the U.S. have agreed that when their interests do not coincide, they need to solve problems rather than provoke conflict.
Peace is not even visible on the horizon.
