US Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced the formation of negotiating teams to discuss potential economic opportunities for Russia if the conflict is resolved. However, the exclusion of Ukraine from these negotiations raises serious concerns. As critics suggest, bypassing Ukraine undermines the chances of a fair and lasting deal, particularly with President Trump's apparent alignment with Moscow's interests. Despite reassurances, the preliminary discussions are viewed as potentially harmful. The article emphasizes the necessity of including Ukraine in any decision-making process given its critical role and sacrifices in the conflict.
It is absurd to keep Kyiv out of the loop as its future is decided. In world affairs, people often say: 'If you're not at the table, you're probably on the menu.'
Wars are easy to start; ending them is torturous and demands patience, rigorous attention to detail and trust.
Today is the first step of a long and difficult journey, but an important one.
It doesn't matter what speed you're travelling at if you're going in the wrong direction.
