, it's like they're finally trying to talk things out after all this time... i'm really hoping for some good come outta these trilateral talks, especially when it comes to those people stuck in the middle, you know? 
it's about time we see some progress on that territorial dispute stuff and get some humanitarian aid to where it's needed most. fingers crossed they can make this work and bring some peace back to the region 
. It's heartening to see all parties engaging in diplomatic efforts to find a peaceful resolution to this protracted conflict. While there's still much work to be done, it's worth acknowledging that cooperation on such a critical issue is a significant departure from the usual zero-sum approach that dominates international relations.
. it's not like one side's gonna magically agree 2 just give up. the fact that Blinken, Lavrov, & Kuleba r all having a chat in person is already a win in my book 
. maybe this'll actually work 4 once 
but honestly, can we pls just get some de-escalation tactics 4 once? it's getting old 
, but instead of just beers, they're talking about lives and stuff. And people thought diplomacy was dead? 
They've been trying to broker peace talks for ages, and now they finally have a chance.
and not just hear about it in the news for once lol
Anyway, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that something good comes out of this. Those diplomats must be exhausted from all the backchanneling and whispering 
... or maybe they're just having a nice cuppa and getting along 
. I guess it's better late than never? The US is pushing hard for a ceasefire but I think Ukraine needs some more concessions from Russia 
. Still not holding my breath though

It's like, finally, we might get some answers on what's going on in Ukraine. I mean, 2 years of war is CRAZY 
. I just hope they can figure out a way to resolve all those territorial disputes and humanitarian concerns... it's so overwhelming 
Fingers crossed, right?! 
. Fingers crossed that these talks bring some much-needed peace and stability to Ukraine 
.
. Still, if anyone can make this work, it's these three nations. Fingers crossed they can hammer out something concrete! 
talking 
diplomacy
