• U.S. and Russian officials met in Riyadh for the first major talks since Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine, with no Ukrainian or European representatives present.
• The Trump administration signaled potential concessions, including territorial discussions and Ukraine's NATO exclusion, sparking alarm among Kyiv and European allies.
• Both sides agreed to restore embassy staffing and establish working groups to explore a negotiated end to the conflict, but no concrete agreements were reached.
