Talks in Jeddah on Russia: Failed attempt to play without a key player? How it goes...

Jeddah, a well-known port city in Saudi Arabia, became the scene of interesting negotiations that decided to bypass the main participant in the events - but, apparently, not without misfires!

The air in the conference room was tense as the round table participants gathered in the city of Jeddah. According to sources, during the dialogue, an agreement was reached on two issues. First of all, all those present stressed the importance of territorial integrity and sovereignty. The need to follow the UN Charter was also mentioned.

What will be the next step? It turns out that the participants agreed to create working groups for a detailed discussion of the settlement plan. Also on the agenda is the issue of a possible meeting of heads of state, which, according to rumors, may take place before the end of this year.

However, someone in the conference room decided to dilute this celebration of diplomatic unanimity! Representatives of Brazil obviously surprised those present by expressing the opinion that further negotiations without the participation of a key player are like a football match without a ball. And who is this player? Yes, everyone already knows! Russia!

In general, should we expect concrete results from negotiations where the main "actor" of the drama remains behind the scenes? It is not surprising if the next meeting will take place with the full complement of participants. For playing football without a ball is not so interesting!
