Don't expect any breakthroughs from US-Russia talks today

Don't hold your breath on this one. The US and Russia are meeting in Riyadh now and there will surely be positive takeaways from the meeting. As for the details, they may be lacking. I reckon a lot of this is to check on what can Russia do to appeal to the US while Ukraine are left wanting in the sidelines. Knowing how Trump likes to make a show of things, you would expect him to have the most important announcement in all of this. And that means any major breakthrough will only come from after his meeting with Putin. That is expected to take place next week. So, today's meeting is largely just to create a segue to that.
