Here’s how Russia’s war with Ukraine can end: The path to a lasting peace as high-stakes talks begin

The US and Russia kicked off high-stakes talks Tuesday in Saudi Arabia that they hope will lay the groundwork to end the nearly three-year war in Ukraine.

President Trump has vowed to bring an end to the fighting and force both Moscow and Kyiv to the negotiating table.

The 4-1/2-hour meeting, which didn’t include Ukrainian officials, was the first time that Washington and Moscow have sat down together to discuss ways to halt the deadliest conflict in Europe since World War II.
