Hello and welcome to World Today, the panel discussion with me, Gaena, in Beijing.
The recent talks between Russia and the United States in Alaska,
followed closely by the U.S.-Ukraine-Europe meeting in Washington,
may have concluded, but their impact continues to unfold.
While both Washington and Moscow described the Alaska talks as constructive and productive,
no agreement was reached on the Russian-Ukraine conflict.
The subsequent meeting in Washington, meanwhile,
highlighted persistent rifts between the U.S. and Europe.
The United States informed a small group of allies representing Europe's economic and military strength that it plans to play a minimal role in any security guarantees for Ukraine,
one of the clearest signs yet that Europe will need to shoulder the burden of keeping lasting peace in Kiev.
In response,
the European Council convened an emergency video conference to address the situation in Ukraine,
while EU Foreign Policy Chief Kayak Kalas outlined a timetable for the next round of sanctions against Russia.
Where does the Russian-Ukraine conflict go from here?
After the Alaska meeting, what kind of new diplomatic contest will unfold among the U.S.,
Europe, Russia, and Ukraine?
