In a move that’s making waves around the globe, U.S. and Russian delegations met in Istanbul for a second round of talks aimed at reviving their embassies and consulates. 😎
Held at the Russian consulate in Istanbul, the discussions featured Russia's newly appointed ambassador to the U.S., Alexander Darchiev, and U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of State, Sonata Coulter. Their focus was purely on restoring diplomatic operations—with no talk of Ukraine, as U.S. State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce stressed, "Ukraine is not, absolutely not on the agenda."
This follow-up session comes after the first round on February 27, marked by earlier rounds of diplomatic expulsions that hampered routine functions. For young global citizens and tech-savvy professionals, it’s a cool reminder that practical dialogue is still alive, even in today’s fast-paced world. 🚀
Stay tuned as these talks could be the first step toward smoother global communication and more effective embassies!
