The next stage of negotiations between representatives of the United States and Russia will take place on February 25 in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia. This was reported by US President Donald Trump, noting that this is an important step in an effort to stabilize the situation in Ukraine and improve bilateral relations between countries.
One of the key topics in the negotiations will be the issue of ceasefire in Ukraine. This issue remains at the center of international attention, as Russia's war against Ukraine has been going on for several years, making great casualties and destruction. Both parties will consider opportunities for peaceful conflict resolution. After the first round of the negotiations, which took place, the parties reached a number of important arrangements. In particular, it was decided to restore the staffing regime of the embassies in Washington and Moscow, which was an important step for normalizing diplomatic relations. In addition, a special group was created to support peace negotiations in Ukraine. This allows you to hope for a more systematic approach to conflict resolution.
US President Donald Trump emphasized that Nadiya was there and noted that after negotiations with Russian President Vladimir Putin and President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky, there is an opportunity for further steps towards achieving stability. Trump also expressed his readiness for closer economic cooperation between the United States and Russia, which can help reduce the tension between states. The meeting held on February 18 in Saudi Arabia lasted 4.5 hours and became an important stage in search of diplomatic decisions. During this meeting, an agreement was reached to create a consultation mechanism to eliminate "stimuli" in relations between the US and Russia. However, no specific arrangements for the end of the war in Ukraine were not reached at that stage.
Despite the fact that negotiations did not produce specific results to end the war, it does not reduce the importance of diplomatic efforts. The continuation of dialogue, especially in such difficult conditions, is an important tool for stabilizing the situation in Ukraine and the international arena.
