Student Ito: Yes, it’s been nearly three years since the last direct negotiations, but I’m worried that there won’t be any significant progress.
Diplomat Sasaki: That’s true; since it’s a high-level meeting, it’s uncertain whether we’ll see concrete developments. But it’s not without hope.

Admin’s Note

The negotiations between Russia and Ukraine represent an important development, but it remains uncertain how effective they will be. Since these are high-level talks, we may not be able to expect substantial results. However, the mere establishment of a negotiation platform indicates the necessity for dialogue between the two countries. We should closely monitor the situation and hope for further opportunities for discussion.
