Russia Seeks Comprehensive Talks with U.S. on Ukraine
Russia has called for comprehensive discussions with the U.S., insisting that the Ukraine conflict must be included.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov emphasized that dialogue should address all accumulated issues, including nuclear risks and the U.S.’s involvement in the Ukraine conflict.
“It is impossible to rip out any individual segments from the general complex of accumulated problems, and we will not do this,” Peskov stated, highlighting the need for a broad, inclusive dialogue.
The U.S. asserts that any talks must prioritize Ukraine’s interests and rejects Russia’s claim that arming Ukraine makes it a direct participant in the conflict.
Peskov pointed out the growing list of issues requiring discussion, particularly those related to global security.
This call for dialogue comes amid heightened tensions, with President Putin visiting North Korea, signing a mutual defense agreement with Kim Jong Un, and considering providing Russian weapons to North Korea in response to Western support for Ukraine.
Additionally, Putin has hinted at reviewing Russia’s nuclear weapons doctrine, raising further concerns about global security.
The last remaining arms control treaty between Russia and the U.S., which limits strategic nuclear warheads, is set to expire in 2026, adding urgency to the need for comprehensive talks.
Former First Lady Patience Jonathan has ruled out any possibility of returning to Aso Rock, citing the immense stress of living in the presidential residence.
Reflecting on her eight-year tenure there, she expressed relief at having left, noting she feels younger since stepping down.
Jonathan emphasized the challenges faced while her husband, Goodluck Jonathan, was in office, particularly during high-profile incidents like the Chibok schoolgirls’ kidnapping.
Since leaving office in 2015, she has embraced a peaceful private life.
