Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov dropped a truth bomb this week, accusing Washington of ignoring the root causes of the Ukraine conflict while pushing for piecemeal solutions. 🔍 'We haven’t seen real efforts to end this war,' Ryabkov told International Affairs, criticizing the U.S. focus on ceasefire frameworks over addressing deeper tensions.
The comments came after three days of behind-the-scenes U.S.-led talks in Riyadh last week, where technical teams from Washington, Kyiv, and Moscow debated Ukraine ceasefire terms. 💬 But Ryabkov insisted Russia has its own roadmap for peace, declaring: 'Our priorities are non-negotiable.'
Analysts note the uphill battle: With battlefield clashes raging, political distrust at all-time highs, and key players like the U.S. and Russia on opposing pages, the Riyadh talks faced mission impossible vibes from the start. 🚩 Trust issues? Try a geopolitical Rubik's cube.
While Washington aims to pause the fighting, Moscow demands solutions for 'why the war began,' hinting at NATO expansion concerns. 🌐 Will either side blink first? For now, the stalemate continues — and the world watches.
