As Russia’s attacks on Ukraine continue on its 5th day, the Ukrainian and Russian delegations decided to meet in Belarus today. After the decision, the Ukrainian delegation arrived at the border early in the morning near the Pripyat river. Critical negotiation talks between the two countries started at the Belarusian border. The Ukrainian delegation includes the Head of the Servant Party of the People’s Party, the Minister of Defense of Ukraine Oleksiy Reznikov, the Advisor to the Head of the President’s Office of Ukraine Podolyak, the first deputy head of the Tripartite Contact Group delegation of Ukraine Andrii Kostin, the deputy of Ukraine Rustem Umerov, the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Mykola Tochytskyi.
The US flag has been hoisted once more at the US Embassy in Damascus, Syria, for the first time since its closure in 2012.
US Special Representative for Syria Thomas Barrack made his first official visit to Damascus and personally raised the flag during a ceremony attended by Syrian Foreign Minister Assad Hassan Shaybani. The embassy had suspended operations amid the outbreak of civil conflict following anti-government protests.
No official statement has been issued regarding the resumption of embassy operations.
The move follows a surprise meeting earlier this month between US President Donald Trump and Syrian President Ahmed al-Shara in Riyadh, where a decision was made to lift sanctions imposed during the Assad era, signaling a potential shift in Washington-Damascus relations.
