Part 5/6:
In a notable escalation of diplomacy, high-level negotiations are set to begin formally on Tuesday. President Trump has directed members of his administration to conduct discussions with their Russian counterparts. The Kremlin, in response, has confirmed that Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov will be visiting Saudi Arabia to meet with senior members of the Trump administration, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
For the time being, the Trump Administration is conducting separate meetings with both Ukrainian and Russian officials, laying the groundwork for future joint talks. The next steps and the outcomes of these discussions may hold significant implications not just for Ukraine, but for the broader geopolitical landscape, as the world watches with bated breath.
