Immediately after the end of the talks in Riyadh between the Russian and US delegations, reactions began to come from the world media.
While some media outlets drew attention to the speed at which the talks were organized, others emphasized that the hold of the talks contradicted the previous policy of the USA.
Just as there were those who saw the talks as an effort to ensure that the US did not intervene in Russia's conflict with China, on the contrary, there were those who thought that Trump planned to divide the world into three with China and Russia.
Financial Times (London, England):
The newspaper used the headline "The US and Russia agreed to 'lay the foundation' to end the war in Ukraine". Stating that such a painting was unimaginable two weeks ago, the newspaper wrote that the Russian and American flags were waving side by side in front of the luxury palace where the meeting was held.
It was emphasized that the talks marked an extraordinary change that took place a few days after Trump expressed his desire to end the war by calling Putin last week, and this situation occurred without consulting with Ukraine or its European allies.
Interia (Krakow, Poland):
Using the title "Putin and Trump's big game in Riyadh", the newspaper wrote that the meeting in Riyadh was a success in the Kremlin's strategic goal of collapsing the American-European alliance.
It was stated that the talks and the Americans' week-long "flattering demonstration" had a purpose far beyond the fate of Ukraine.
With this move, Washington aims to weaken the ties between Moscow and Beijing, and this could ultimately guarantee Russia's neutrality in the event of the US-China conflict.
The newspaper used the title "The US and Russia are seeking partnership through a dizzying relationship transformation". It was stated that the talks showed that Trump is extremely willing to work with Russia to end the war, and this approach will meet many of Putin's demands.
Trump is ready to ignore the concerns of his European allies, and Russia's talks on Tuesday's use to offer Trump the potential benefits and revenues from natural sources, claiming that American oil companies and others could earn hundreds of billions of dollars by starting to work back in Russia.
Il Giornale (Milan, Italy):
The newspaper, which used the headline "If the new Yalta excludes Brussels, then we must defend ourselves alone," wrote that the doubts that Trump is trying to get closer to Moscow, moving away from the priorities of Europe and the traditional transatlantic alliance, have almost given way.
It was stated that Trump wanted to radically change the situation and share the world with Russia and China. From this point of view, it was stated that Europe will either join Trump or become an obstacle, a secondary space to be divided, and therefore did not take part in the talks.
Der Spiegel (Hamburg, Germany):
The newspaper, which used the title "This is the subject of negotiations between the USA and Russia", stated that the style used by Russian representatives when they arrived in Riyadh was conciliatory, almost friendly.
It was stated that this is probably what Trump wants to hear. Despite the chaotic, often contradictory signals sent by his government in recent days, it was stated that the answer to the question of what Trump wants to achieve in negotiations with Russia is easy.
