Saudi peace talks – Bharat Pulse News

Russian President Vladimir Putin has expressed that Saudi Arabia could serve as a "comfortable" venue for peace talks to resolve the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict. Speaking on the sidelines of the BRICS summit on October 19, 2024, Putin highlighted his close personal relationship with the Saudi royal family and emphasized Saudi Arabia’s sincere efforts in global diplomacy. Saudi Arabia's Role in Peace Efforts Putin acknowledged Saudi Arabia’s engagement in mediating various international conflicts, including the Israel-Palestine and Russia-Ukraine crises. Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman recently led the Saudi delegation at the EU-GCC summit in Brussels on October 16, demonstrating the kingdom's active role in peace-building efforts. Putin emphasized that Saudi Arabia is a trusted partner and a suitable venue for future negotiations. Putin Criticizes Ukraine’s Reluctance for Dialogue While acknowledging the efforts of countries like Turkey, China, and Brazil in brokering peace, Putin stressed that the primary hurdle to resolving the crisis is Ukraine’s refusal to negotiate. He reiterated that Russia has been open to peace talks, but Ukraine’s government has enacted a decree prohibiting negotiations with Moscow. “Ukraine’s decree prevents any constructive dialogue,” Putin stated, blaming Ukrainian leadership for stalling potential peace efforts. He further noted that Russia remains open to engaging in peace talks if Ukraine changes its stance. Global Peace Efforts Continue Since the conflict began in February 2022, numerous countries, including BRICS members, have pushed for a diplomatic resolution. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been vocal in supporting peace, engaging both Ukrainian and Russian leaders in efforts to facilitate negotiations. National Security Adviser Ajit Kumar Doval's visit to Moscow in September reinforced India’s commitment to peace. However, the conflict remains unresolved as Ukraine continues to resist direct negotiations with Russia, prolonging the war and delaying peace talks.
