Russia detonates After Moscow is not invited, Saudi Arabia holds talks on putting an end to the conflict in Ukraine.
Table of Contents
Tensions between Russia and Ukraine have been escalating for years, causing immense suffering and instability in the region. In a surprising turn of events, the conflict took an unexpected twist when Saudi Arabia hosted talks aimed at putting an end to the ongoing crisis in Ukraine. However, Moscow’s notable absence from the negotiations has sparked controversy and further complicated the situation.
Saudi Arabia’s Mediation Efforts
As a prominent member of the international community and a key player in the Middle East, Saudi Arabia has stepped forward to mediate discussions between Ukraine and other stakeholders to seek a peaceful resolution to the conflict. The Saudi government’s efforts come at a crucial time when the international community is looking for ways to de-escalate the situation and bring about a lasting peace in the region.
The talks, held in Riyadh, involved representatives from Ukraine, as well as diplomats and mediators from various countries. The aim was to find common ground and chart a path towards resolving the long-standing crisis in Ukraine.
Moscow’s Reaction
While the Saudi-led talks aimed to bring all parties to the negotiating table, one notable absence raised eyebrows worldwide – Moscow was not invited to participate in the discussions. The omission of Russia from the talks comes as a sensitive issue, given Russia’s historical involvement in the conflict and its annexation of Crimea in 2014.
In response to being excluded from the discussions, the Russian government released a statement expressing its displeasure and labeling the talks as “unilateral and biased.” The absence of Russia from the negotiations has further strained relations between Moscow and Riyadh, making it even more challenging to find a comprehensive and inclusive resolution to the conflict.
The Way Forward
The conflict in Ukraine has caused immense human suffering and political complexities, affecting not only the people of Ukraine but also the global geopolitical landscape. It is crucial for the international community to work together to find a peaceful and diplomatic solution to the crisis.
While Saudi Arabia’s initiative to host talks is a commendable step towards peace, it is essential for all relevant parties, including Russia, to be part of the negotiation process. A comprehensive and inclusive dialogue is essential to address the root causes of the conflict, find common ground, and pave the way for a sustainable peace agreement.
International organizations and world leaders must continue to exert diplomatic pressure on all parties involved to engage in constructive dialogue and seek a peaceful resolution. The goal should be to establish a framework that respects the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine while addressing the concerns of all stakeholders.

Michigan splash pad attack: A couple was shot seven times in total while defending their two small daughters.
During the Michigan splash pad incident, a Rochester couple who were defending their young girls were shot seven times in all. Michael William Nash, 42, shot and wounded nine people at the Brooklands Plaza Splash Pad in Rochester Hills before taking his own life.
After being shot seven times in all, Micayla and Eric Coughlin sustained injuries while attempting to shield their two-year-old and seven-month-old girls. The attack happened close to their house on Saturday, June 15, at approximately five o’clock in the evening.
According to a GoFundMe page created for the couple, they were attacked brutally as they brought their kids to the Brooklands Plaza Splash Pad to “enjoy a day with beautiful weather.” After grabbing a child to shield themselves, they were shot and hurt.
The page says, “They walked to the splash pad shortly after getting ice cream, and they weren’t even there for a minute when Micayla and Eric heard gunfire.” “They each grabbed a child to protect them, trying to save their own children.”
Right now, the woman and husband are receiving treatment in a hospital. Noel Wakula, a friend of Micayla’s, organised the campaign, which has asked for donations to support the family with their medical expenses.
The page says, “Their children were protected and able to go home that evening because of their heroic actions.” “After this unimaginable tragedy, Micayla and Eric have a long and unknown recovery ahead of them.”
Three other members of the same family—a 39-year-old lady, an eight-year-old child, and a four-year-old son—were also killed in the catastrophe. A 78-year-old guy who was shot in the abdomen was the oldest casualty.
It is said that Nash had mental health problems. Although his motivation is being looked into, the Detroit Free Press claims he was unrelated to the victims.

Netizens express embarrassment at confused Joe Biden being escorted off stage by Barack Obama at an event in Los Angeles.
In a widely shared video, Joe Biden appeared to freeze up on stage at a Los Angeles fundraiser, and former president Barack Obama was seen helping him off. The altercation happened following Biden and Obama’s 45-minute appearance at the Peacock Theatre for a late-night chat with Jimmy Kimmel.
The men can be seen in the footage standing for applause at the star-studded event. Biden seemed to fix his gaze on the audience for ten seconds or more before Obama walked him off the stage and grabbed his wrist. The New York Post reports that the Biden campaign was able to raise almost $30 million at the event. At the occasion were famous people including Barbra Streisand, Julia Roberts, and George Clooney.
“There is no way that this is the head of the free world.”
“No offence… But I’ll never understand why old folks, and I mean rich old men and women just can’t leave politics alone and simply go on about their lives and enjoy EVERY bit of it until the last day,” wrote one of the many comments on the above video that British broadcaster Piers Morgan shared on social media. Too wealthy to be making themselves look bad on national television like this. One person remarked, “Clearly President Obama seems to have stepped in and taken command,” while another said, “They’re simply going to carry on pretending that it’s not happening and continue promoting Biden as “Sharp, dynamic, and full of vigour.”
“Why does Obama appear to be dragging out Biden as some elderly statesman to smile and wave at the crowd? One user said, “This cannot possibly be the leader of the free world,” and another commented, “It’s hard not to feel sorry for Biden.” The elderly boy has to be taken care of and removed from the spotlight by someone. A user said, “It’s so embarrassing that they have allowed this to continue.”
Some people, meanwhile, expressed sympathy for Biden’s poor performance. Would you send him shopping with a list to the nearby stores and expect him to return home if he were your father? It is inhumane. One commenter said, “They are embarrassing him by letting this continue. “I’m sure mainstream media will cry about “camera angles” and “framing” again,” another person commented. Elder abuse is something that must be acknowledged.
In fact, one user went so far as to say he thought the incident was being exaggerated and that Biden had not actually frozen up. “I was present there. In the front row, I witnessed three young people yelling at President Biden. @President Biden did not clam up when trying to listen. Seemingly prepared to reply, Now incorrect news is spreading. Sharing my perspective,” the user wrote.

Saudi Arabia: As the temperature approaches 48 degrees, 14 Jordanian Hajj pilgrims have died.
Because of the intense heat and prolonged heatwave that pervaded Saudi Arabia during the Hajj, at least 14 Jordanian pilgrims have perished and 17 more are missing. During the Hajj pilgrimage, fourteen Jordanian pilgrims perished and seventeen more went missing, according to the foreign ministry of Jordan. According to the statement, its citizens died “after suffering a stroke due to the extreme heat wave.”
The Jordanian foreign ministry stated in a statement that it was working with the Saudi authorities to arrange for the burial or transfer of the remains of the deceased in accordance with the family’s requests.
Five Iranian pilgrims’ deaths were also confirmed by the Iranian Red Crescent, however the cause of their deaths was not disclosed, according to news agency AFP. Regarding the deaths, Saudi authorities haven’t yet made an official comment.
In the holy town, the temperature has surpassed 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit) and is expected to hit 47 degrees on Monday.
As part of their efforts to reduce heat, the Saudi authorities have established numerous climate-controlled rooms. Along with giving out water, they counsel pilgrims on sun protection techniques. Additionally, the Saudi health ministry sent a warning advising pilgrims to avoid the warmest parts of the day outside and to stay hydrated.
One of the world’s biggest mass gatherings is the Hajj. Saudi officials claim that around 1.8 million pilgrims are participating this year. Over the last 30 years, hundreds of deaths have occurred at the festival due to stampedes, tent fires, heat, and other causes.
At least 240 persons, many of whom were from Indonesia, lost their lives during the Hajj pilgrimage in 2018. The death toll was reported by several nations, although the causes of death were not given. Heat stroke affected more than 2,000 pilgrims on the journey.
Hajj for this year would conclude on Wednesday.
