In a recent press briefing, President Donald Trump stated that Russia aims to halt the "barbarianism" in the ongoing Ukraine war, as the U.S. and Russia engage in negotiations to resolve the three-year conflict. Talks commenced in Riyadh, with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov agreeing to establish high-level teams to expedite peace efforts. Notably, Ukraine was excluded from these discussions, leading President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to reject any outcomes from talks lacking Ukrainian representation. Trump criticized Ukraine for initiating the war, suggesting a deal could have been reached earlier.
