A: Hey! Did you hear anything about Ukraine and Russia lately?
B: No! What's going on? It's been so quiet.
A: Apparently, Zelenskyy says the US suggested a meeting - Ukraine, Russia, and the US all together.
B: Wow! That’s a big deal. Have they talked recently?
A: Not really! No direct talks since July.
B: That’s a long time! So, Russia agreed?
A: Well... that’s the tricky part. A Russian official is saying they *didn’t* discuss it.
B: Seriously? That’s confusing!
A: I know! But Russia *did* talk with the US though. They said the talks were “constructive”.
B: “Constructive” is good, right? Does that mean they’re getting closer?
A: Maybe? It’s still really tough. They're far apart about land.
B: Oh man. So, it’s still complicated then?
A: Definitely! We're still waiting to see what happens.
