Russia is a little victory, Ukraine receives a little delay and Europe suddenly becomes relevant again. CNN Analyst Nick Paton Walsh writes about this.
US-Russia talks mainly gave Moscow the most. For a long time, he has depicted the War of Ukraine as a NATO attack on Russia, and this bilateral meeting helps to perpetuate that false story.
Moscow also receives real, practical results. US Secretary of State Marco Rubions suggested that the relevant embassies of the United States and Russia return to a more functional personnel level.
Such a summit is based on Trump's policy in Ukraine. But at the moment Russia's recovery may seem like a settlement act, which is more of the immediate interests of Moscow.
This slowdown will cause some joy in Kiev. The Riyad met the intention of rapprochement with Moscow, promising Ukraine to make unpleasant concessions to Ukraine. The whole issue of peace in Ukraine should be handed over to other negotiation teams, potentially postponing any results. National Security Adviser Mike Walts weighed the scales of "territorial concessions" and "security guarantees" in empty hands, which both sides must accept as a reality.
