KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russia’s Foreign Ministry on Monday chided efforts by international officials meeting in Saudi Arabia to find a peaceful settlement for the war in Ukraine, saying the talks don’t have “the slightest added value” because Moscow — unlike Kyiv — wasn’t invited.
Journalists should be forbidden from using “blasts” in headlines.
Can they keep using “slams”?
FUCK NO
😩
What about “eviscerates”?
Also describing an angry response as a “meltdown”
It’s extra funny because it says “chided” in the article
🤣

“…large materiel, financial, and personnel losses.” FTFY
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Senior officials from around 40 countries gathered Sunday in Jeddah for a two-day meeting that aims to agree on key principles about how to end the conflict that has raged for more than 17 months.
But without Russia’s participation and without taking into account Moscow’s interests, the meeting was pointless, a Russian Foreign Ministry statement said.
It repeated previous assurances that Russia is open to a diplomatic solution on its terms that ends the war and is ready to respond to serious proposals.
But Mykhailo Podolyak, an adviser to Zelenskyy, ruled out Moscow’s previous demands that would give Russia time to dig in deeper in the parts of Ukraine it has occupied.
Zelenskyy has been a prime target for the Kremlin since Russia’s full-scale invasion in February 2022, when he refused to leave Kyiv as Moscow’s forces approached.
Also Monday, Russian shelling struck a nine-story residential building in the city of Kherson, killing one person and wounding four others, according to regional Gov.
I’m a bot and I’m open source!
If Russian soldiers left Ukraine, Russia might be allowed to attend the peace talks.
Unfortunately it doesn’t work that way.
Yeah also China attended and calls for a cease fire without withdrawal of troops kind of missing the whole context of the invasion
To spite them they are going to increase production of the oil that no one will buy. That will teach them. They will sell it to china for less than the cost of extraction.
“Blasts” is that figuratively or literally? dont think the Saudis would like the latter…
