At the Diriyah Palace in Riyadh, negotiations began without visible handshakes.
- However, no specifics on a possible meeting between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin emerged from the gathering in Riyadh, the first high-level official Washington-Moscow talks since Ukraine's 2022 invasion.
Some European leaders, alarmed by Trump's overhaul of US
policy on Russia, fear Washington will make serious concessions to
Moscow and re-write the continent's security arrangement in a Cold
War-style deal between superpowers.
- On Tuesday, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov agreed to "appoint respective high-level teams to begin working on a path to ending the conflict in Ukraine as soon as possible", the State Department said.
Washington added the sides had also agreed to
"establish a consultation mechanism" to address "irritants" to Russia
and America's relationship, noting the sides would lay the groundwork
for future cooperation.
Russia offered less detail on the outcome of the talks, saying:
- "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 is still difficult to talk about a specific date for a meeting between the two leaders," said Yuri Ushakov, Putin's foreign policy aide.
- "A lasting and long-term viable resolution is impossible without a comprehensive consideration of security issues on the continent," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Tuesday, responding to a question by AFP.
