Moscow and Washington seek to restore bilateral ties and pave the way for a settlement of the Ukraine conflict

Top Russian and US diplomats are holding talks in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia to find a way to restore diplomatic relations, set the stage for a summit between Russian President Vladimir Putin and his US counterpart, Donald Trump, and pave the way for resolving the Ukraine conflict.

The Russian delegation is led by Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and includes Yury Ushakov, Putin’s top foreign policy aide. Kirill Dmitriev, the CEO of the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF), is also taking part in the negotiation process. The American side is represented by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Trump’s national security adviser, Mike Waltz, and Steve Witkoff, the special envoy for the Middle East.

Neither Ukraine nor the EU is attending the meeting, with Kiev signaling that it won’t recognize the results of the talks unless it is included.

The US Department of Defense confirmed to a TASS correspondent that the administration had authorized the use of antipersonnel landmines in Ukraine.

“I can confirm that the administration has approved use of antipersonnel landmines to Ukraine,” a Pentagon official said, commenting on the Washington Post report.

The official said the Ukrainian side had committed to not using the mines in areas populated by civilians.

The use of anti-personnel landmines is a matter of controversy. The Ottawa Treaty bans this type of weapon, though the US and Russia are not among the 164 nations which have ratified it. Ukraine did so in 2005, and has been accused by the UN of breaching its obligations.
