Russia and Ukraine have recently been at the center of discussions following the US-Russia talks in Riyadh. The talks have resulted in a slight win for Russia, with Moscow receiving positive outcomes and a sense of rehabilitation in the global order.
One significant development is the potential return of American and Russian embassies to a more functional level of staffing, indicating a step towards normalizing diplomatic relations. However, a face-to-face meeting between Presidents Trump and Putin did not materialize, signaling a slowdown in immediate diplomatic engagements.
