Alarm have been rung by Kyiv citizens over the US-Russian officials’ summit in Riyadh. Ukraine was not included in the summit in the Saudi capital. Their purpose was to improve diplomatic ties. The two sides talked about methods to put an end to the conflict in Ukraine.
The encounter signaled an enormous re-adjustment in US foreign policy under Donald Trump. As a silent message of the meeting, Ukrainian authorities did not attend the discussions. It occurs during the continuing conflict as Ukraine is losing terrain to the more powerful Russian soldiers. After months of doubt and anxiety, Russian soldiers invaded Ukraine in 2022, sparking the beginning of the conflict.
Many Ukrainian people are frustrated by Ukraine’s exclusion from the negotiations. The situation is intolerable for Ukraine. “I support our president,” a Ukrainian woman stated. She thinks Trump supports them and wishes to put a halt to the conflict, but only if Ukraine wins. The Ukrainian people are not an instrument of negotiation. Another Ukrainian says people are battling for democracy and peace for all of humanity.
A Ukrainian military member warned against putting their faith in Moscow. He talked about his own ordeal being detained by Russian soldiers as an inmate of war. “I have a conversation with them. That would be doomed to fail,” he said.
Nevertheless, some residents of Moscow think that Russian concerns have to come first. According to a Russian resident, Moscow has suffered too badly to be making these concessions. Some Russians are hoping that their leader will act morally in this case. Others in Russia just said they were tired of the conflict. The latter group hopes that the discussions will end with positive outcomes.
According to a Russian, both sides’ tolerance is currently at the threshold. They will thus reach a consensus. The same individual claims that everyone in the world has started recognize the truth about the roots and process of the war.
Yet, there are worries about the continent’s general security outside of the fighting states. Some in Poland worry that an agreement excluding Ukraine may jeopardize freedom and stability across the Europe. Poland, which borders Ukraine, is a NATO member, one of the main disputes that ignited the war against Ukraine.
A Warsaw resident claims that the entire planet is in danger. He believes that Poland is extremely vulnerable due to its geographical position. However, he underlined that since basic human rights and all other freedoms have been ruined, the entire globe is in danger.
Many in the area are extremely worried that an agreement that benefits Moscow may enable the country to regain its military might. In conclusion, Russia’s thirst for power would be able to be further fueled.
Many people are concerned that such an arrangement may give Russia the ability to attack nations like Poland. Additional targets may include Baltic nations like Lithuania.
