Diplomatic discussions mark a step toward resolution, with special representatives to be appointed soon.

In a significant diplomatic development, the United States and Russia have agreed to initiate the process of negotiating a settlement for the ongoing Ukraine conflict.

The agreement was reached during a five-hour meeting in Riyadh on Tuesday, with the State Department describing the discussions as “an important step forward” toward “enduring peace.”

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov confirmed that both countries will soon begin the settlement process and will appoint special representatives to facilitate future talks.

Addressing concerns from Ukraine and European allies, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio assured that no parties would be excluded from the negotiations.

He emphasized that while the European Union would be involved at a later stage, any resolution must be acceptable to all stakeholders.

The decision to hold the meeting in Saudi Arabia underscores the kingdom’s growing role as a diplomatic mediator on the global stage.

While details of the settlement process remain unclear, the agreement signals a potential shift in the geopolitical landscape.

However, challenges remain, including Ukraine’s demands for sovereignty and territorial integrity, as well as NATO’s position on Russia’s actions.

As negotiations move forward, the international community will closely watch how these discussions shape the future of the region.

Harley Lippman, a Political Analyst and Foreign Policy Expert joins Veronica Dudo to discuss.
