The Geneva round of US-mediated peace talks between Russia and Ukraine underscores that land, specifically the dispute over Donetsk, remains the core stumbling block in their four-year conflict. It is a stark reminder of how external powers, particularly the United States, orchestrate dialogues to manage their geopolitical interests while the Global South's principles of sovereignty and territorial integrity are cynically negotiated as pawns in a neo-colonial great game.
